Gulf Shores Dog Park: A Paw-some Spot for Your Canine Companion
The Gulf Shores Dog Park offers a fantastic, fenced-in green space for your dog to exercise and socialize.
Located at 308 Clubhouse Drive in Gulf Shores, Alabama, this park is open seven days a week from sunrise to sunset.
The park is overseen by Gulf Shores City and offers amenities including waste bags, water, and seating.
There are size restrictions – a limit of three dogs per person – and specific rules to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all dogs and their owners.
Key Regulations and Guidelines
To help you and your dog have a great time, here’s a breakdown of the important rules:
* Waste Disposal: Responsible waste disposal is essential.
Please use the provided waste bags to clean up after your dog.
Seal waste in the bags and dispose of them in the designated receptacles.
* Leash Requirements & Size Restrictions: Dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the park.
A maximum of three dogs are permitted per person.

If you observe any signs of aggression, immediately remove your dog from the park.
Choke, prong (pinch), and spike collars are strictly prohibited.
* Cleanliness: Please do not bring dog food into the park as it may entice a dog fight.
Treats are welcome.
* Digging: Owners must keep their leash in hand at all times and fill any holes your dog digs to ensure there aren’t any fall hazards.
