Boxi Park is fun for everyone, including your dog. The on-site off-leash dog park, Barxi Park<\/a>, is fenced and all sizes of dog aged four months and older are welcome to play and run. Boxi Park, itself, is dog-friendly, but outside of Barxi Park, those cuties must be on a leash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake Nona residents can enjoy some off-leash fun far from the backyard with plenty of new sights, sounds and sniffs \u2014 not to mention a bevy of other pups to play with \u2014 Lake Nona has several options for off-leash dog parks.
