Absolutely wonderful space for a little or big dog run! Probably the biggest area we have encountered for a small dog. We enjoyed the fact that the big dog and the little dog area had a lot of fence to share. The lake view pushes this place over the top and now is our fav spot to bring fido! Will definitely be back to visit Bartow and explore everything this place has to offer!

Very nice dog park located within a peaceful park. Great shade trees for dogs and humans alike. Benches spread around so owners can take a break. Love having a water fountain for the dogs, but it was a little dirty (although the pups didn't mind). Update 06/12/24: The doggie water fountain has been unclogged! Update 04/16/25: No waste bags available, one of the waste cans is overflowing with trash, dog poop everywhere, rude users who leave the sally gates open. Not sure if the idyllic setting is worth the trip anymore.

This is a gorgeous park and it's beautifully maintained by the city. The shade trees, mowed grass and surrounding lakes make this a great destination for both the dogs and pet parents!

I love this dog park! It’s good sized and has both a large and small side. It has a ton of shade which the dogs love and is well maintained. It has dog bag stations and a water fountain for the dogs as well! My favorite dog park in the area.

Nothing fancy, just a fire hydrant in a nice big field with plenty of shady trees and park benches. There's also a mile long (down and back) walking path along the lake to the playground/picnic pavilions.
