q Brevard County Parks & Recreation continues to work to open the Off Leash Dog Park at Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach. Enthusiastic dog owners are visiting Lori Wilson before the Dog Park opens. Parks & Recreation wishes to remind dog owners that dogs are not permitted at Lori Wilson Park until the official Dog Park Opens. And then, dogs will only be allowed in the off-leash dog park area.
