Creekwood Park

My pup loves this park, and so do I! People are always friendly, and pups have sooo much space to run and play. There is an agility course, a shaded area, and a few benches. There’s a hose and buckets for water (we use our own bowl to prevent shared illness) and sometimes there’s a doggy paddle pool! Small dog park and big dog park, they are separated but if your small pup enjoys playing with big dogs, they’re welcome to join. Highly recommend!

I was visiting Bradenton for a few weeks and found this dog park a mile from my parents. It was great. We only got to visit a handful or times but there was always a great group of dogs and owners, with the dogs of various sizes on the large dog side. I look forward to bringing my pup here again in the future as he made a lot of pals and was able to run around in such a large area. There was a pavilion inside the fenced area with 3 picnic tables and a hose where you could fill up water bowls, as well as various benches throughout the fenced in area.

Dogs are great here. 1 small dog and one big dog park. Can only speak to the big dog side. The owners are respectful and friendly. In the middle of the park is a covered concrete patio with 3 picnic tables. They have 2 baby pools, lots of water buckets, and plenty of room to run, sniff, chase, and bark. The dogs are bigger than other big dog sides of the park with my English Mastiff, a couple of St. Bernard's, a wolfhound, a couple of Great Danes, just to name a few. All friendly.

My whole family enjoys coming here, especially the pupper. She always makes excited crying sounds when we pull up in the parking lot. Her cousin comes along sometimes and loves romping around together, leash-free. The dog park is divided into a small and large dog area, the separating line being at 30 lbs. There is a path to walk your dog around the perimeter of both dog park areas. The restrooms have always been clean during our visits. A few benches and a covered pavilion with picnic tables are located inside both dog park areas. Dog owners are still expected to clean up after their dog, so we have not seen poo piles in the playing area, but we have seen people leaving them in the grass leading up to the dog park. There is a hose for filling up bowls of water, and several bowls are already there. Word of caution to always wear closed toed shoes, or you may risk the possibility of fire ant bites, speaking from second hand experience. Parking lot is decently sized, and we have not had a problem finding a spot even if a lot of people are visiting all at once. Children have a playground with a jungle gym to enjoy too. Great space for families to spend time together outside.

I was worried how much my fiancé and her dog might not like it, but it was absolutely perfect! The dog park has a lot of room to run around and play in, lot of spots to sit and relax and it's nice that there were dog fountains and other facilities looked nice!
