Best Place to Walk Your Dog: Country Club Prado
Description
Country Club Prado is one of those Coral Gables places that makes an everyday routine feel considerably less routine. The long landscaped greenway running through the neighborhood offers a wonderfully simple combination of grass, shade, beautiful homes and room to walk.
On a pleasant morning or toward the end of the afternoon, dogs and their owners become part of the scenery. There is space to stretch your legs, plenty to look at and the easy pace of a residential neighborhood rather than the bustle of a commercial district.
The Prado also captures something George Merrick understood particularly well when Coral Gables was planned. Green space did not always have to be confined behind the boundaries of a conventional park. It could be incorporated directly into the streets and neighborhoods people use every day.
There is no elaborate attraction competing for attention here, and that’s part of its charm. Country Club Prado feels like a gracious extension of the surrounding neighborhood. For a Gableite and a four-legged companion, that’s just about perfect.

Country Club Prado brings a distinctly Coral Gables character to the everyday dog walk, with a long landscaped greenway woven through a residential neighborhood. Its combination of grass, shade, beautiful homes and room to walk gives dogs and their owners a pleasant setting for stretching their legs without the bustle of a commercial district. The greenway reflects an important aspect of George Merrick’s planning vision, placing open space directly within the streets and neighborhoods people use each day rather than limiting it to a conventional park. There is no elaborate attraction competing for attention, allowing the easy pace and gracious surroundings of the Prado to define the experience. For Gableites seeking a calm, scenic route with a four-legged companion, Country Club Prado makes a simple routine feel meaningfully connected to the character of the city.
The Gazette Take: Country Club Prado turns the daily dog walk into a graceful way to experience Coral Gables.
