Wickham Park Dog Park

Came to the dog park while staying in the campground. There are 2 sides small-(under 25 lbs) and large. The small side is in much better shape than the large side for sure. The large side had standing water right by the gate and lots of wood chips. It looks like a small pond forms toward the back when it rains as well. Both sides do provide dog waste bags, water, pools and benches/chairs. The large side did have a lot what looked like brand-new tennis balls for the dogs to play with as well. The large side could us some attention, like fill in some of the lower areas.

Our dog always has a blast at this dog park. Lots of friendly owners and dogs. And we especially love the bathing area after a fun filled day in the pool and dirt!

I love Wickham Park but miss the authentic park we grew up with. There are so many people there now. No one swims the lakes like they did when we were kids and frankly i don't blame them. There are lots of disc players now and the walking path is great for those who like it. Wish they would plant some nice flowers or something in various places but then the gopher turtles would probably eat them. 😆

Monty thoroughly enjoyed Wickham Dog Park! The area for big dogs is huge (there is a small dog side too), with dog drinking foundations, a wash tub with a hose, and different terrain like grass, sand, and wood chips. Monty loved diving into the huge, bushy palms (which are gorgeous, but they do obstruct your view of some of the dog park, if that bothers you). There’s a large tree for shade and tons of chairs and benches. We were the only ones in the park around 3pm on a Wednesday but about ten more dogs showed up over the following hour. A dog fight between a couple dogs did break out while we were there (unfortunately it happens sometimes at dog parks), but the owner of the offending dog quickly apologized and removed him from the park. Some more trash cans would be nice - there are two - but clean up bags are provided.

Nicely maintained dog park, big and small. Plenty of running water available for those hot days including two washing stations. There always seems to be a few dogs in the big dog side every time I visit. They recently cleared some of the obstructive bushes.
