New? Please read details thoroughly :) 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 heritage oaks, sky-high slash pines while you play with your dog(s) in a safe natural space. You may see eagles, hawks, rabbits, squirrels and many bird species. 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 and fencing type. FL red ants are like mosquitos, we treat as quickly as we can, rain will draw them out so please keep feet moving, dogs don't seem bothered) recent hurricanes have caused major damage to the interior of our home, you may see contractors in and out near garages not near your entry/exit gate. The green grass is coming back. Closed toe shoes recommended. Water hose and bowl (plz dump and flip over after use) for dogs inside paddock gate near barn.

Tucked away in a beautifully wooded setting, this private dog park retreat is the perfect place for pups to roam off leash while mom and dad relax and unwind. A bench sits in a large open clearing near the entrance, creating a peaceful spot to sit back and enjoy nature while the dogs explore freely. The property is cleared of trash and features several maintained walking trails with areas to throw a ball. As you venture deeper into the woods, boots are recommended for comfort and safety. A porta potty is available on site for convenience. **Please bring your own water.** This is a private-use dog park, meaning only your dogs will be on the property during your booking for a quiet, stress-free experience. Please note: there is an active construction site located on the north end of the property. For your safety, stay on marked trails and avoid the construction area at all times.
