I can't believe that I lived a half a mile away from this park for 12 years and never checked it out. The park is fantastic! Lots of shade, benches, water for the pups to splash and cool off. Well maintained. I just wish that they could reopen the small dogs area. I get a little nervous with my little shih tzu around big dogs. For that purpose I will donate every time we go. I'm still in awe about this place. My two pups are very much couch potatoes (like me), that prefer a bed and air conditioning to heat and dirt, but we all had a great time.

Dog park has only 1 very large area for pups of all sizes. There used to be another area that is labeled ‘small dogs’; however, this area is closed (very overgrown and run down). Water spigot, waste bags, and a number of benches are available, Has a covered pavilion as well. The area has trees that provide a lot of shade. Area is grassy. There is a 1/4 mile gravel path that runs along the edge of the park for 2-legs to get their steps. No restroom available.

Wonderful dog park. Free, big, lots of shady areas for humans and dogs to cool off. Water available for dogs. Nice friendly dogs and people there. My dog had a great time running around with a pointer.

One of our favorite dog parks in Florida. Pretty large area and all dogs were friendly. It was fun to see all the dogs running around in a pack.
