Chapman Field Park flag football

Last Sunday the weather was so nice that we decided to go for a walk at this park that I had on my list. It felt great to park for Free!! To enter this park for Free!!! To walk around and enjoy the beautiful view of the bay as we enjoyed the pure air for Free!! You can take your canoe and do some canoeing for free here too, plus they also, have a dog park.

First I’d like to say that if you don’t know where you’re going you might not find it. That’s ok too. I ended up at a guard house and they redirected me. It’s actually past the dump on a kind of dirt road. I went kayaking and had an awesome time once I found it. The park even has a small kayak launch pad. We went all the way to the ocean and back. Absolutely beautiful!

Quite a nice place to kayak. The road to parking near the kayak launch is unpaved and has a lot of ditches, but there is a paved bike lane extending from Old Cutler to the dog park at its farthest point. There are two considerably large lakes, both having serene atmospheres.

Such a perfect park to go with your dog. It has access to the water so the dogs can swim if you want. I absolutely love this place. I dont even live close and still drive over there to hang out with my friends.

This was a great place to take your dog before they built the dog park. Now the walk to the dog park is the best part. Once you arrive the fun ends. There are two enclosures. One for dogs over 35 lbs and one for dogs over 35 lbs. There is one large tree in each enclosure. Picnic tables are underneath the tree. That part is fine. The rest of the park is nothing but green grass. All the native vegetation was removed. Your dog won't find a lizard or squirrel to chase. To make matters worse the nature trail leading to the bay has been fenced off, and locked with a sign that says service personnel only. I guess service personnel deserve their own private piece of the bay! What a missed opportunity. All they had to do was separate the dogs from the crocodiles, and leave everything else in tact.
