Blanche Park

The park is divided into two sections: a children’s area and a larger dog park. It’s important to note that the dog park is for all dog sizes, not separated by small and large breeds. The entire area is covered in turf, with the exception of a mulched walkway and the bench area. Overall, people here are really friendly. I’ve brought my dogs several times and have only felt slightly concerned once or twice by a few dogs that seemed a bit aggressive — though nothing ever actually happened. Side note: It normally isn’t that easy to find a place to park. Wish there were more parking spaces.

Small friendly family park with great play equipment really loved the shade, Florida is pretty warm these days so shade so nice!!!

Several weeks ago when taking my partner's dog out for some exercise, I decided to bring the lil' guy here to run off some steam, rather than to the park we usually visit. We liked it here at Blanche Park so much that we've returned a few times since. Blanche Park isn't large and is split into 2 sections; One part is a fenced in, well-maintained playground for children, and the other section is a dog park for canines of all sizes. IMO, this seems to be a really nice facility overall compared with most other area dog parks. The first thing one notices when approaching is that there's a basket of tennis balls, knotted ropes and other toys for any dog using this park to share. Upon entering, you see nice packed mulch paths for the humans, and a low artificial grassy turf covering the entire place that looks much like a putting green, though they did leave 1 area in the back corner with a patch of natural grass. There are plenty of benches for the humans, a rounded, elevated hill in the center, and the people who bring their dogs here seem friendly and outgoing for the most part. Blanche park is also outfitted with a water fountain for both the dogs and their humans, and several poop bag dispensers and trash cans. The only critical comments I'd have are: 1) Since this is a park for dogs of all sizes, some of the larger ones can get a bit aggressive, and in some cases their owners refuse to do the responsible thing and simply take their aggressive animals home or train them properly. 2) I've seen a number of people come here and sit on a bench to read or become enthralled with their smart phones, while their dogs simply run free with no supervision on their part. That also means that, when they take a dump, the owner pays no notice and doesn't pick it up. Did I mention the entire surface of this place is mulch or artificial turf, meaning the poop sits on the top of the surface? 3) One evening when I came here, we were nearly the last to leave before it closed - yet there were only 2 open parking spaces. IMO, if they've got a number of parking spaces intended for people coming to this park, they should enforce that. As it is, it seems people living in this area take them for no-cost parking.

Blanche Park is a charming, dog-friendly park with shaded walking paths, tennis courts, and a playground. Peaceful atmosphere, perfect for families and pet owners.

We found this place while staying in a hotel nearby and we were so happy 😊 😀 The park is fenced-in and divided into halves one part allows dogs 🐕 to roam freely and the other half to allow kids 🤸‍♂️👶 to roam freely. So convenient if we had brought our dogs, but for this occasion we stayed on the kids side. The park was well kept and having a playground for children to run and exert some energy is such a plus.
