Marion Oaks Park Is easily accessible, ample parking, water access, new 6’fencing with privacy features, and plenty of space to run and play. At the time we visited there was a small pool for splashing and a miscellaneous toys for fetching. We had a wonderful visit.

Nice park. Plenty of free parking. Playground for kids is big. Plenty of areas to sit and cookout if you wanted. Bathrooms are available. Has a cool little cave to look at.

For this to be the only park in Ocala, there's little to really complain about. It's the largest in our area from Gainesville to Tampa, the morning dogs are wonderful and the regulars have created such a warm community. However, there could be improvements on maintenance with emptying the trash bins and cleaning/sanitizing the water stations. That being said however, the owners do a great job of upkeeping the park when they can (even going as far as replacing broken toys like the kiddie pool on the property) I've been coming here for 2+ years with my pup and have had no issues that would bar us from coming back. However, OWNERS BEWARE if you come after 2pm, the dogs tend to be more unruly, aggressive and unsocialized.
