PET POLICY
- Florida State Parks Pet Policy
- Pets are not permitted at the annual reenactments of the Battle of Olustee, held in February each year. Large crowds, heavy pedestrian traffic and repeated loud noise created by cannons and muskets firing black powder charges make it an inhospitable environment for pets. Pets are permitted at the park any other time of the year.
