About Dog Parks in DeLand
DeLand has one dedicated dog park on the map, but don’t let that number fool you — Barkley Square Dog Park punches well above its weight. It’s a large, fenced, off-leash facility that offers separate areas for small and large dogs, a man-made pond on the grounds, and an atmosphere that reviewers consistently describe as serene and peaceful rather than crowded and chaotic. Entry is free, which makes it an easy choice for locals and a worthy detour for visitors passing through Central Florida.
With 885 reviews, Barkley Square is clearly the go-to spot for dog owners in and around DeLand. Visitors highlight the sheer size of the park — plenty of room for dogs to run, roam, and play without feeling on top of each other. The man-made pond is a standout feature that sets it apart from most dog parks in the region. Reviewers are enthusiastic enough that some drive 30 minutes specifically to bring their dogs here, calling it “one of my favorite parks” and praising how “serene, quiet, peaceful and beautiful” the space feels.
A few practical things worth knowing before you go: because Barkley Square draws visitors from well outside DeLand, it can see traffic from a wide area, so arriving earlier in the day may mean a quieter experience. The separate small-dog and large-dog areas make it a solid pick for owners of any breed. Hours weren’t listed at time of writing, so check ahead before making the trip.
