Leticia Vegaa month ago

This is a very nice new dog park in the Underline linear park. Paid parking is available next to the park on Ponce de Leon. The park has 2 areas for large or small dogs and doggie waterfountains are available. There are rolling hills and a tunnel including in the landscaping. The turf is articifial grass. Some small tables, chairs and benches are avaliable for humans to sit. The running/bike path is just along the park. I went in the late afternoon and parking spots were avaliable. It is a great new park.

This is a charming, and quaint neighborhood hidden gem of a playground for children ages 1 through 8 yrs old. Parents and friends can relax on the benches nearby while keeping a watchful eye on their little ones as they play. It is a well maintained park with native trees and relaxing canopy. It also has a larger area for dogs to play, but please clean up after your pets, you may dispose of in garbage cans throughout the park. Thank you! 🙏 Keep in mind the park is small, so it doesn’t have bathrooms. Please help keep the park clean and throw the trash in the garbage cans. Have fun and enjoy your day! 😃
