Dr Otts Off Leash Dog Sanctuary

Address: 2103 3rd Ave SE, Ruskin, FL 33570

This private sanctuary outside Ruskin offers a quarter-mile walking trail, generous shade, multiple water stations, and separate areas for large and small dogs — all on a scale that sets it apart from most municipal parks. The atmosphere draws regulars who appreciate the space and the water features. One important caveat: the park is only open Thursday through Sunday, so plan accordingly.
