Military Trail Park, Miami FL

Nice park. Docked one star because of misleading advertisements posted here. PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO FEDERAL REGISTRATION REQUIRED FOR SERVICE DOGS & THE POSTED SIGN IS A CERTIFIED SCAM. It implies a certification granted by registering with some random company will enable you to bring your service dog into public spaces which also implies that you can’t do that if you have no registered your dog. Service dogs perform a service and you just need to be able to state what task they perform. NO REGISTRATION OR CERTIFICATION IS REQUIRED to bring your service dog with you anywhere. It breaks my heart for people who fall victim to these schemes. While you CAN get your dog a Canine Good Citizen Certification which says they’re generally well-behaved, it is not required and you cannot be denied entry for not presenting documentation for your service dog.

Now on to the park: it’s spacious, and appears to be well planned. I especially liked that the entire park wasn’t grassy and that there was mulch which, in my opinion, helps with drainage and allows dogs to play immediately after a rain because water doesn’t settle. The park outside of the dog area is also very appealing with benches l, a variety of trees for shade and walking paths. Good place to take pets and sit with a tea/beverage if not playing fetch.
