Most of the city is very pet friendly and I have found some great dog parks in Pensacola that I'd like to share. 1. Dog Park at Lake Frederic on NAS Pensacola (East of Sherman Marina) Free easy access dog beach. It’s been litter free every time I’ve visited. The parking can be difficult when it’s a busy weekend.
