Thor had the best time with Dog Adventure Co. He spent a few hrs playing with his friends and came home happy, clean and tired. The staff is caring, professional, and clearly loves what they do. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and safe outing for their pup.

Colee Hammock Park is a beautiful little hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale. It’s peaceful and relaxing, with big trees, benches, and a great view of the water. Perfect spot for just sitting by the river and enjoying the view.

Markham Park is an awesome all-in-one spot, we’re here for the Scoutmasters camporee and it’s a great venue for group camping and outdoor events. Beyond that, the park is loaded with legit amenities: a full Markham Park Target Range with pistol/rifle plus skeet & trap, sporting clays, and even archery. � The mountain bike setup is also the real deal with 10+ miles of trails across multiple difficulty levels. � If you’re RV camping, the campground has full hookups (up to 50 amp), paved pads, hot showers, dump stations, and Wi-Fi. � And it’s not every day you see a dedicated R/C airfield with a long paved runway and huge flying area on-site. � Overall, it’s one of those parks you can come back to again and again for totally different hobbies.
