Chewy Bark Park opened on Jan. 31 with a lively community celebration in Coral Gables, drawing more than 500 pet parents and pups.
The event marked the debut of Chewy’s first-ever dog park and the newest addition to The Underline, Miami’s 10-mile linear park transforming space beneath the Metrorail into vibrant, everyday public spaces.
Guests enjoyed playtime, pup cups, photo moments, local bites from Vale, Playa Bowls, and Woof Gang Bakery, and opportunities to learn pet CPR from the Coral Gables Fire Department and meet adoptable dogs from Miami-Dade Animal Services.
The 17,000-square-foot park, located at 4500 Ponce de Leon Blvd., is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and features cooling turf, agility elements, and designated areas for small and large dogs.
An official leash-cutting ceremony included remarks from Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago; Eulois Cleckley, CEO of Friends of The Underline, and Lisa-Marie Curti, head of Partnerships at Chewy, highlighting the park as both a neighborhood amenity and a milestone in The Underline’s continued growth.
“The opening of Chewy Bark Park is a proud moment for the city of Coral Gables and for pet parents across South Florida, where our Chewy story began, and where our roots run deep,” said Orlena Yeung, chief brand officer of Chewy. “This park was designed as a joyful gathering place for Miami pet parents – a space that reflects the unique energy of life with pets in this city, and a way for us to show up for the community that continues to inspire us.”
“As nearly 60 percent of The Underline visitors are dog owners, the Chewy Bark Park is a natural extension of our mission to connect people, pets, and neighborhoods through community and wellness,” Cleckley said. “We’re excited to open this incredible destination with Chewy, a company deeply rooted in South Florida to bring new life, activity, and pet-friendly spaces to the Miami community.”
