Great dog park. The dogs AND the people were friendly. 😊

I'm from out of town and visited at 9AM on a Monday in December. It wasn't too crowded. There was a good mix of dog breeds. No aggressive dogs and the dog owners there at that time all seemed to be watching their dogs pretty well so that nobody got too rough. I only saw one poop that hadn't been picked up. I plan on taking my dog there every morning while we're in town.

We were there mid day and it was not busy. Another dog owner directed us to a fenced section that was best for Avas size. Ava had an area all to herself to roam and investigate. We will definitely go back.

Nice spot! Very large dog park. A little dusty.. doesn’t have the wood chips like some other dog parks but still a fun time for the pups! Olivia 🐶 would love to come back.

My dogs love it here . It's a hit and miss park. Sometimes there are lots of dogs and sometimes not any. Despite of what some may think not everyone is fond of the smell of "skunk-wink wink 😉" . It's convenient if you're driving through that area of Bradenton. I'll pick and choose better times to come around.
