My 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks, my husband and I love this dog park! Both, our dogs and us humans mad a lot of friends to hang out with. The park is huge and provides something for all breeds. Chasing squirrels, plunging in the well maintained pond, running across wooded and open areas, agility setup, or just hanging and enjoying the company of other dog lovers and their furry friends. One of our dogs loves to run and play with other dogs while the other greets every dog and owner hoping for treats. Poop bags and trash bins are provided plentifully throughout the park. Also an area where you can wash your dog and towels are provided. There is also a little store inside the office and an area for dog grooming.

BEST DOG PARK IN GAINESVILLE!!!!! I have been a member since August 2024 and LOVE this park!!! My 2 girls absolutely love it here and never get bored, even though we go 2-3 times daily! Tons of squirrels to chase, shade, a pond, and open space to run. Dogs stay cool even in Florida's summer heat. There is truly something for every dog to enjoy. Another plus is that you know all dogs are vaccinated!

We have joined this dog park in February and I’m wondering why we waited so long! Josie my 5 yo Brittany loves it! 15 acres of shaded woods with plenty of squirrels to keep her running. It also has a pond to cool off. Members are great keeping the dog park clean. All the dogs have to be vaccinated which is a great plus. Definitely worth the monthly fee🐾

My dog died because of the neglect and mismanagement of this dog park's grounds! They're lucky I'm not suing, because it won't bring her back! Do not go here! The owner hates the park, and the man who manages the park and leases it from the owner no longer cares about the business! Neither would allow the dog park community to freely volunteer their time to clean the grounds of the park to make it safer for everyone! My beloved corgi, Mipha was bitten by an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake on June 7th 2025 and did not survive even after extensive treatment at UF Small Animal Hospital! I'm angry that neither the owner nor the man leasing the park reached out to me, only the kind maintenance man called me after she was bitten to check on us. The lack of care for the death of a park member and the negligence of the grounds is disgusting! I will never return or recommend this park to anyone after what happened to me and my beloved dog who didn't deserve such a horrific death! Edit: Thanks dog park for sending me a happy birthday to my "DECEASED" pet and reminding me y'all really don't care about your customers because when you get a new program, you didn't have the decency to go through it and remove deceased pets, especially the one y'all had a hand in killing!

I have taken my dog Huck for daycare, boarding and the park for nearly five years. We have since added a pup in July who I have also taken for those services. They have a five acre dog park with a shallow pond and sand pit. Lots of trees, shade and squirrels to chase. Great people in the park and even better dogs all well behaved.
