I am not sure how we never knew about this place but we discovered it on our recent stay in GSO. We…read morehad an absolute blast and we didn't even bring a doggo! We were traveling and missed our dog and decided to see if it was creepy or okay to go to a dog park/bar without a dog in tow. The greeter let us know it was totally cool to just hang out and meet new dogs while we had a drink and we literally lost 3 hours without even realizing it! We had the greatest afternoon. Are the cocktails award winning? No, is the food Michelin star? Hell no but who actually cares when you get to sit in the sun (or shade) and meet a ton of dogs and watch them play, run, cool off in the pool and come visit for pets??? 100% recommend to anyone 21+ even if you are just visiting town and don't have your dog with you.

THIS IS MY HAPPY PLACE!!! It's like a second home for my Noelle and myself. She has so much fun…read morewhen we go there and I have so much fun watching her. The "rufferees" are amazing with the dogs and remember each one. The bartenders remember your favorite drink and are awesome too. All the employees and the owners remember you and your dog's name (like Cheers, everybody knows your name) and like I said, it's a home there. My Noelle comes home so tired every time we go and sleeps the night away. I also want to thank all the employees and the other customers who helped me through the loss of my dog Zoey. They loved her here and were all devastated too when she passed away. With open arms, they all welcomed me back with Noelle. You can't ask for a better place to spend your evening.

From what I understand, the APS of Orange County started this shelter but I'm not sure if it's still part of APS. It's become a place for animals transferred from nearby county shelters. If you're lucky, you'll have the grounds cat escort you from your car to the front door just to make sure you don't get lost or take a wrong turn. The day I was there it was relatively quiet and I had the opportunity to spend as much time as I wanted with the animals. Like most shelters, the cats are separated by age group and placed in three decent sized rooms with lots of toys and beds. Only one of the rooms was an interior room with no view outdoors. The cats get to free roam within their rooms. Paws4Ever has dogs, too, but I didn't go back into their area. The woman working allowed me to take my time but was very quick to answer any questions. In fact, since I was the only one there at the time, even the cats seemed to like the attention. Unfortunately, that made it even harder to leave them all behind. My only criticism would be the smell. The rooms were clean, I didn't see any litter boxes, but it smelled like litter boxes that needed to be cleaned. It's an okay shelter, seems relatively low-key, and that probably makes it a nice place to check out if you're in the area.

Baden has done an incredible job making his dream a reality. He keeps me updated throughout the day sending pictures & videos of my girl having a blast.

We are thrilled to have pup park shuttle in our lives. Thank you Baden & Team!!

It brings Isla (and me) so much joy that she can socialize with friends and get all of her energy out (depending if it is just parks or parks and hikes in the day, she can get in 26k - 45k steps!) She comes home mentally and physically exhausted, and she is so happy. Baden sends pictures of her during the day, and Isla is always smiling. (I am leaving proof for you below. ) I can't say enough about Baden and the PPS! If you love your dog as much as I love my Isla, there is nothing better. Highest recommendation!

Most popular time is definitely before 10:30am. But even after that there are always pups there. I can't speak for the small dog park, though. We have never had a problem here all dogs have been very friendly as well as the humans :) The park is very large and has lots of room for your dog to wander and explore. There is a small trail that circles around the inside of the park. Two baby pools, plenty of running water, and tons of benches! The city does a great job of cleaning it and maintaining it

The folks who bring their dogs here are for the most part attentive and friendly, and both sides have a shelter with a picnic table or benches and chairs as well as benches along the fenceline. There are plenty of dispensers with good-sized, sturdy "mutt mitts" and trashcans dispersed around the fenceline for picking up after your dog. On weekends there's usually a well-attended 10am meetup on the small dog side. The medium-large side is huge with loads of room for unobstructed ball/frisbee throwing and a path that traverses around the inside of the fence. Parking is usually good except when there are soccer games on the fields at this end of Southern Community Park. We often park at the north end of the park and walk the easy quarter mile over to the dog park (there's a paved trail), and you may have to do this if there are soccer games going on. If there has been a lot of rain, the lower end of the medium-large side has an area that gets really muddy and should be avoided if you don't want your dog getting into the mud. We enjoy going here several times a week. It's an excellent place to get some good off-leash social time and exercise for your dog.

There was some up and down, but nothing too difficult. Both trails were mostly clearly marked. Near the end of Loop B the markings became less frequent, and at the junction of the two trails it was unclear which way to go. Other than that it was great. There is an interesting small cemetery. The trails cross small brooks in several places, with secure bridge crossings. I might choose to do just one of the loops next time, if I can figure out how to skip one of them. It was a pleasant couple of hours.
