Dr. Steven G. Paul Dog Park

Our pup really enjoys this park. There's a lot of trees for shade, it keeps the park feeling really cool even during a hot summer day. My kids have a blast exploring with their pup. Friendly people/dogs. Very spacious with lots for dogs of all sizes to do. They also have a great view near the water and a picnic area outside the park. Definitely recommend checking it out!

It's nice and chill. Narrow but has space for dogs to run and play. The rest of the park (for people) also welcomes dogs (on a leash). There's also a lake where I've seen dogs go swimming. Looks very refreshing. Last time we went there two dogs started fighting and when the owners tried to intervene they both got bit. First time seeing that at any park actually. But overall the park was nice and my puppy had fun.

This is not a fenced-in lot for dogs. It's a playground for your canines. There's even a picnic table there if you want to throw a birthday party for your puppy. If you have small children, there's an okay playground next to it. Parking is sparse, however.

I like to go to the memorial for the victims of the Douglas shooting. It's on the left when you first pull into the parking lot. There is a small rock trail in the back that is meant to be walked on barefoot. It is challenging! There are also fruit trees and flowers with many benches to sit on. There is also a labyrinth stone walking path if you are interested. It's a peaceful place.

The park is very big and has lots of trees which give shade, good for us and our dogs. The park needs a little better maintenance, especially the grass.
