Dogs on a leash no longer than 6 feet are allowed in dog-friendly Sarasota County Parks. A dog-friendly park is a place where dogs are welcome, but must be leashed at all times within designated areas. Dogs are not allowed in playgrounds, on beaches (with the exception of Brohard Beach Paw Park), fenced athletic fields or other designated play areas, off trails, in park buildings, or concession facilities.
