Invite your favorite ball-fetcher to a session of tail wags and open-air fun around Pinewood, a pocket of Miami shaped by Caribbean and African American influences.
Open your door to an adventure packed with tree-lined strolls, sunny stretches, and nearby green spaces that make every outing feel like a mini escape — all just minutes from Pinewood, an unhurried metropolitan community in north-central Miami-Dade.
Bordered by Miami Shores, Hialeah, and West Little River, Pinewood is a vibrant residential enclave filled with mid-century houses, tropical trees, and a strong sense of local pride woven into every block.
Here, mornings begin with neighborhood chatter, afternoons glow under the shade of palms, and evenings hum with quiet rhythm — a balance of calm and character in Miami's urban heart.
Of course, that's only half the story—for residents and pups alike.
While Pinewood offers all the charm of a laid-back neighborhood, it also puts you within reach of Miami's most popular locales and their pup-approved parks, all offering wide-open fields, shady trails, and plenty of new friends to meet!
So, clip that leash on—it's going to be a day of parks, pals, and pawsitive vibes!
Here are the dog-friendly parks near Pinewood.

Welcome to Lemon City Park, a solid choice for some exercise/walkathon sessions with your dog under a bit of sunshine, just 8 minutes from Pinewood.
This neighborhood park has plenty of space to move around—wide-open greens, a basketball court, shaded sitting areas, and a full rec center.
Here, families often gather after school for youth programs or laid-back outdoor time, and the lake view gives it a peaceful, tucked-away feel.
Dogs are welcome on a leash, so bring yours along for a walk, a sniff, or just to soak in the breeze beneath the trees.
5250 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33127
Buena Vista Park is a vibrant neighborhood hangout that offers just the perfect amount of open space and activity, just 9 minutes from Pinewood.
With picnic tables, a playground, a basketball court, and a rec center, it's a solid spot for families, solo visitors, and yes, dog parents, too.
You'll find locals stopping by for a short morning walk or lingering after school programs let out, enjoying the laid-back energy the park naturally brings.
Remember, dogs are welcome here, but only if leashed, so bring yours along with a little extra water and a few cleanup bags.
24 NW 49 ST, Miami, FL 33127
Tucked into a residential block in Little Haiti, Pullman Mini Park is where neighbors gather and dogs get their wiggles out, just 10 minutes from Pinewood.
Here, shaded picnic tables, barbecue grills, and a playground make it a family-friendly pitstop, while the soccer goal and open lawn offer a bit of space to stretch your legs.
Leashed dogs are welcome throughout the park, and the mature trees provide a nice break from the Miami heat while your Fido explores.
4) Eaton Park
460 NE 61st St, Miami, FL 33137
Need a quick place to let your dog sniff, stroll, or sit in the shade? Eaton Park gives you the perfect spot sans the exhausting commute, just 10 minutes from Pinewood.
This compact Upper East Side park includes a basketball court, a multipurpose lawn, picnic tables, and a few shaded corners to catch your breath.
It's a practical stop if you're looking for a clean, leash-friendly space between errands—or just somewhere to get some fresh air with your four-legged sidekick.
5) Military Trail Park (Top-Pick!)
825 NE 89th St, Miami, FL 33138
Sitting right on the shore's edge is the Military Trail Park, a grassy, expansive park with winding footpaths, benches, and a fenced-off dog area just 10 minutes from Pinewood.
The park is a bustling and blooming area with tall trees, a gorgeous grassy lawn, trails, and a small gravel parking area on the south side, which is connected to a dedicated dog park by a paved pathway.
At the dog park, you'll find separate areas for large and small dogs, with grass terrain and shade.
Dog owners will have to pass through a double-gated entrance into the park.
Dog park amenities include benches, a 5-foot high chainlink fence, a water fountain for humans, kids, and dogs, cleanup stations, and trash bins for use.
Meanwhile, at Military Trail Park, dogs on leashes can explore its entirety, where you can enjoy a shaded playground, picnic tables, a .4-mile trail made from concrete, benches, and water fountains near the play area.
It's a great area to walk around in a loop to get away from the active dog center of the park.
Don't forget to bring a leash!
465 NE 77th Street Rd, Miami, FL 33138
On the banks of the historic Little River, wedged up against the bustling neighborhood of Miami Ironside, sits a patch of grass where you can lie about and let your dog run around near Pinewood.
Welcome to Manatee Bend Park, a 1.2-acre park with open green spaces and fields right on the river, with tall trees that cover more than half of it under shade, located just 10 minutes away.
Here, dog lovers and their pups can stroll its small, partly-shaded looping concrete trail, perimeter sidewalk, and a concrete trail that follows along the river's edge.
It offers benches along the edge of the grass and a rocky shore that descends into the water.
One of the best features of this park is the fact that you can view manatees at this park.
With picnic tables and benches available, there is plenty of room to sit and relax on the shore, where you can view hordes of sea cows relaxing in the water.
Due to this, doggie visitors must remain on a leash while at Manatee Bend Park.
