Walton County Bark Park Takes on New Name

Alaqua Animal Refuge (Freeport, Florida 32439) announces “Alaqua Unleashed” (formerly known as the Bark Park) located in Santa Rosa Beach on over 18 acres of county owned land. The park is Walton County’s only off-leash dog park and has recently seen a variety of improvements including a spacious parking area, restroom facility, information center, refreshments, landscaping, and a private area for dog training classes scheduled for the fall.

Alaqua Unleashed’s goal is to become a membership/sponsorship-based park so that it can continue improvements and operate on a stand-alone budget separate from the refuge.

“While we see a great opportunity to have an affiliation between these two animal-focused entities, we want to make sure that donors for both the refuge and the park are comfortable with how their gifts are being used,” said Laurie Hood, president and founder of Alaqua Animal Refuge.

This premier community space, which currently has 3 acres developed, has plans for expansion for the remaining property that includes shade and seating features, nature trails, a stage and event facilities, doggie cafe with Wi-Fi, memorial garden, and water features. Plans to develop this space will be announced at an upcoming event at the park, date to be determined.
