Drove from Orlando with our three rescue Frenchies after learning about this place online. The layout is great and the effort invested into a memorial park for a fallen hero is admirable. Unfortunately, as others have posted, we didn’t stay long due to the overwhelming stench in both sections. There were at least 15+ piles of poop in the smaller dog park alone, making it challenging for the dogs that were there to run freely. Shame.

Great park if you do t want to deal with sand, mud, grass, etc. It has all turf ground and plenty of space to run. The park is located under a bridge which gives it a natural cover from rain and sun. Only downfall is the water fountain that partially pours out water and no hose to rinse off poo on the turf. Sometimes a dog leaves remains of poo and it just sits there so watch where you step.

This park is great place to take your dog in the middle of summer because it is nice and cool! Always shaded from the interstate. They have a huge small dog park, which is unusual because usually online the large dog park is this big! Only downside is that parking is limited.

Has been a favorite since moving downtown. Unfortunately, the dog owners bringing their unpredictable or aggressive dogs is keeping us away now. My dog was nipped a couple months ago. It was a smaller dog and I tossed it off as play. This past weekend, we were walking into the park and as I turned around to close the gate behind us, a dog leaped up and bit my dog on the way in. Drew blood and landed us in the vet er. The owner was across the park talking and barely acknowledged with a "sorry bout that". Careless humans not paying attention, ruin it.

Amazing here! Great big park lots of space. Highly recommend coming here as much as you can. What more could you ask for protection from the sun and rain !! Usually poop everywhere because people don’t any cares. Poop bags and water with jumping platforms.
