Al Lopez Dog Park

Tampa’s first Leash-free Activity Area opened on the west side of Al Lopez Park on March 30, 2001 and encompasses about 1.5 acres. On September 20, 2001 the park was renamed to James Urbanski Leash-free Activity Area by Council Resolution.

Partially wooded and surrounded by a four foot chain link fence it includes such amenities as a double gated entry with a concrete slab, dog and human drinking fountains, picnic benches and tables with dog waste pickup bag dispensers and waste containers. A separately fenced 8,000 square foot area is available for owners of small dogs.
