The Grand Opening of Canine Cove – the new dog park for West Boca – is set for Saturday morning, July 26 from 8:30 am to 11:00 am.

Your dog(s) can run and play to their heart’s content in the fenced-in areas designed especially for off-leash recreation.

Canine Cove has two large dog sections and one for small ones. Only one of the large dog sections will be open at any given time while the other one undergoes maintenance. The facility will have three gazebos, three pet drinking fountains, 34 shaded benches, 15 Dogipot stations, and one pet washing station large enough to wash two dogs at a time.

The park will be open from dawn to dusk seven days a week, except on Wednesdays, when it will be closed from noon to 3:00 pm for maintenance.

Canine Cove is located close to the newly opened Sunset Cove Amphitheater, the venue for West Boca’s first annual 4th of July fireworks extravaganza.

To get there, go west on Glades 2.5 miles from 441. Just before you get to the fire station and can see West Boca High School in the distance, turn right into the park and follow the signs.

By early 2009, this road will be extended through to Coconut Cove Waterpark, which will make the trip to Canine Cove considerably shorter for some. But for now, this new dog park is still a lot closer than the city of Boca Raton’s Mizner Bark. And unlike Mizner, Canine Cove will be free for the residents of West Boca!
