Grass, Grass and more Grass!
We are very fortunate to have been able to resod almost all of the BIG dog area. For now, we have fenced off the newly sodded area in order for the grass to get established… about 5-6 weeks. You can help us by making sure your dog does not inadvertently get into the fenced area. Thanks for your patience.
NEW Hours in Effect September 1st !
Don’t forget about our new hours… Monday – Friday 8am-11am & 4pm-7pm
Saturday –
Sunday 8am-7pm
You ask WHY the reduced hours? Budget restraints due to tax reform required that all Satellite Beach Recreation Facilities reduce the hours they are open to the public. In most cases, the deleted hours were when the park was not well attended. The Satellite Beach Dog Park will continue to open with a city staff so tell your friends who may not be able to utilize the County dog parks to join you in Satellite Beach!
Satellite Beach Founder’s Day and Woman’s Club Marketplace
In celebration of the City of SB turning 50 years old, we are going all out at the Annual Founder’s Day Event, Saturday, November 3rd, 9am-4pm.
