I attended an event at the center in front of the playground. Although it was burning hot, those fans cooled us down. I was so glad the planners rented the space. Between the basketball, baseball, playground, racket ball, soccer, and tennis facilities, my children will not be bored this summer.

The playground felt new and brought me back to my childhood with all the play attractions. The park itself is huge with tennis, basketball, racket ball, and baseball fields. Everything was modern and well kept. There was plenty of parking and rest areas. Truly enjoyed our visit!

I loved visiting this expansive park with my family! There are a lot of great amenities. First of…read moreall, Dr. Phillips Community Park sits on a small lake so it has a pretty view when you drive up. There is no swimming in the lake allowed however because of wildlife. Near the lake, there is a large playground for kids. It has slides, swings, and climbing structures. It's gated which is nice for the kids' safety (but parents/caregivers should still watch their kids!). They also have a splash pad next to the playground. In addition to the playground, there are lots of sidewalks all around to walk on. It's perfect if you want to get those steps in. There is a basketball court, sand volleyball court, dog park, and picnic tables. I saw a sign for occasional community events as well on the bulletin board near the bathrooms. We would love to come back to this park again when in the Dr. Phillips area of town!

A nice shaded park to bring your pups! They have a small and large dog section (I believe small…read moredogs are up to 30lbs) and they have a time out section between the two if you ever need to give your pup a little alone time. They have hoses for water bowls, there's always a few hanging around, and a water fountain for humans + dogs. I will say the last few months the dog fountain hasn't drained so I'm not sure if there's a maintenance plan for that and wouldn't recommend letting your pup drink from it. Other than that, it's a huge park with a few gazebos and tables plus benches throughout. Doggy bags for pickup are plentiful and for the humans there's a public restroom up the path (about a 10 minute walk). My pups have all loved it but be warned it is definitely best to come on a bath day!

This is a great shady location, well provided with benches, water, trash cans a poop bags. However…read moreI was really disappointed at the amount of dog poop all over that owners did not pick up. How do you not pick up after your dog even when everything is provided for you? Really inconsiderate.

All I have to do is say 'park' to our dog and he will run down to the garage door and wait to get in the car! Fido Dog park (also known as the West Orange Dog Park) is located in a tree shaded area right off the turnpike and down the street from the local YMCA. There is lots of parking and its all shaded. The park is divided into two sections... one for smaller dogs and another section about 4 times the size for larger pups. Our dog gets so excited to come here and play with other dogs! There is a drinking fountain for the dogs but we normally just fill up some plastic buckets for them to drink out of. There is a walking path, a few sheltered tables, benches and some training devices for everyone to enjoy. There are even some 'time out' cages for pups who get to excited and need to chill for a bit. For the most part, everyone I have met at the park has been great. They are dog lovers and enjoy treating their pets to some off the leash free time. My dog loves it and has made some friends that they always enjoy playing with. But like any place, there are some people who don't control their dog or don't understand how dogs behave in groups. Different breeds act in different ways. If you know your dog might be a bit more aggressive with other dogs, keep an eye on him/her. In the two years I have been going to this park, I have had to leave twice because of bad owners treating other dogs poorly. I do wish they had a dog wash station or bench were we could hose off our pups. They do get muddy and dirty at times and I always have to bring a towel in the car for dirty rides back home. All in all, I like Fido dog park and I do recommend it for all types of dogs. Enjoy!

A sweetheart from the group arrived at 6 am and was able to secure a nice pavilion on the lakeside, adjacent to the restrooms and across from plenty of parking. The pavilion come with a grill (we didn't use) and a large trash bin nearby. The area had a few trees around and was nicely shaded, this made the combination of good weather result in a really good experience. There is a nice trail for walking, hiking and cycling. Near the parking, there is a play area for children and a fenced dog park area. Overall, I thought I had a good experience and think that it is a fabulous area. I do hope to get back out here at some point in the future.

There are several facilities available including pavilions, grills, disc golf volleyball, playgrounds, swimming, fishing, and even a drone course. There's a bike path, a nature path and a small animal farm where you can see a turkey, chickens, and maybe a variety of other animals. There are cabins (assuming for rent) and a spot for small RVs and trailers. The park includes several restrooms which are very clean. The disc golf course is extensive and likely a bit difficult as it meanders through several wooded areas and even one hole across the water. The park has several pavilions varying in size. Most have parking nearby, however several will require you to hoof your goods a little distance. This is a great place for a family or larger gathering. Two dollar entry fee. Dogs allowed on leash and there are several pet sanitary stations.

While the playground is older, the equipment is by one of the top manufactures of playgrounds in the country. All safety surfaces are new, and the nearby water fountain worked. My kids had a blast and made new friends. We will definitely be coming back to try family activities like fishing and boat rentals.
