Great socialization opportunity for my puppy. Appreciate the small dog fenced in area. She met a friend, chased, rumped, dug and chewed on sticks. Appreciated the water bowl area. Everyone doesn't clean up after their dog. 😕 Overall a great outlet.

A nice little park. Newer Playground for kids, exercise equipment, large fenced and partitioned dog park in the back. If you take a shortcut through woods you can walk the (sometimes dusty) beautiful live Oak-canopied SW 17th Terrace road as well. Read the historic marker as you enter the park. The land the park sits on, as well as the Idylwild neighborhood, elementary school, and huge amount of land all the way to I-75 and Paynes Prairie is the site of former Seranola Plantation. History and its harsh lessons are everywhere if you care to look.

Our favorite dog park. A few acres for them to run off leash, with a separate small dog area. Creepy though, this used to be a plantation, and there's a very tall tree towards the back of the small dog section with a rope hanging from it. Definitely a sobering thought.

Great park for kids, adults and dogs. I gave it a five, but there are no bathrooms. The playground equipment is fantastic. Well maintained, clean and up to date. And a nice pad underneath. There is a walking path and a large dog park. Also next to the playground several pieces of workout equipment for adults. There is also a large field for sports or some frisbee.

Really nice dog park. A few acres fully fenced with doggie pools, old growth trees, a few shady areas to sit for the peeps. There are areas of sand, grass, and dirt, agility equipment and a separate small dog area. I appreciate how large this is as my dog loves to run. There is also a wash station at one of the exits. There is water in buckets around. Very clean, I did not see any unclaimed poop.
