The space was clean and well maintained. It offered our two bull terriers so much room to run and play together. It was enjoyable to watch the boys have fun in a safe and open environment.

HAPPY DOGS
Host replied: Oh my gosh those poodles can leap!! So glad they have a place to enjoy being themselves! Unbelievable shots!
REBECCA A., Apr 13, 2024
This is the greatest place to let your dogs off leash. My dogs are used to plenty of room to roam. However, we are at a location with no room and can not be off leash. They sniffed and explored the whole time we were there. I traveled 50 minutes to get here and plan to do so often. The area is safe for both pooches and their mom's. There is plenty of shade and water is available. I am grateful that I have found the Painted Porch Pooch Park.
Host replied: Thank you! So happy you found us and took a chance that You & your dogs would love it! We are looking forward to your next visit!!!

Awesome getaway for the pups! Lots of space to run and explore, my dogs were exhausted by the time we left. They had such a fun time and we will definitely be back again!

We are a local family and love animals! The Painted Porch -Pooch Park- is just minutes from downtown Punta Gorda. We live on 5 acres with a barn and chicken coop. We raised and said goodbye to our 4 kids, a horse and 2 goats and now want to share our gorgeous land with your sweet pooches. We have 2 dogs, one of which had a very hard time at dog parks and leashes, this property was the answer and he's so happy! We understand the amazing benefits of a Private place to run your dogs, you can relax under heritage oaks, sky-high slash pines while you play with your dog(s) in a safe space. Fun Fully Fenced 1.5 acres. My hubby Chris and I are Army Veterans, grandparents to 3 boys, love Pickleball, travel, art, beaches and mountain visits. (Dogs smaller than 15lbs are welcome, just walk the perimeter with leash to get familiar with the large layout.)
