Commissioner Burt Aaronson, county officials and representatives of local dog clubs dedicated Palm Beach County’s newest dog park with an “unleashing ceremony” on Saturday, July 26 at South County Regional Park. Canine Cove is located at 12551 Glades Road, west of Boca Raton. The celebration also included the dedication of a large, new accessible playground located next to the dog park. About 800 people attended the event.

Pet owners and their canine best friends enjoyed free admission to the large new dog park. Three gazebos and 34 benches offer additional comfort for dog owners as their pets romp unleashed under their supervision. Many trees have also been newly planted in the area.

Additional amenities at Canine Cove include three drinking fountains with attached pet fountains, a pet washing station large enough to accommodate two dogs and 15 pet stations with plastic bags and waste receptacles. 

New picnic facilities and a large, colorful new playground are located next door. A shaded gazebo with benches has also been included in the playground, as well as 19 additional benches and a drinking fountain.

Canine Cove Dog Park and the accessible playground are located next to the newly opened Sunset Cove Amphitheater. These new amenities are all part of the major expansion that’s in progress at South County Regional Park.
