Walton County Public Works will close Walton County Bark Park, also known as Alaqua Dog Park located at 342 JD Miller Road, Santa Rosa Beach, FL. Starting from May 27, the park will be temporarily closed for some much-needed site work.

This decision has been made with the aim of alleviating the recurring flooding issues that we’ve been experiencing. Our plan is to raise the site to direct flood water more effectively, which will significantly improve the park’s condition during heavy rainfall. We will be adding new fencing and sidewalks to enhance the safety and accessibility of the park. Our goal is to make the park more user-friendly so that everyone can enjoy their time here.
