This park is right by my parents house so easy location for me. One thing I don't like is that the parking lot is right next to the large dog park space as this area shares it with the public bus system. Now, I don't mind the walk because I am obviously there to get my dogs exercise but it is far enough away that by the time I get there my two small dogs are already dying of thirst and overheated. They do have a dog water faucet but for some reason, none of my dogs will every drink out of it, even the pair before my current set. I do have portable bowls but again, but they time we get there they are overheated and do not want to run around. Too bad the two size cages were both in the same area or parking was closer. read more

Northwest County Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Brought my dogs to this park on Sat March 21st. They go daily during the work week with my husband. When I arrived a pit bull mix immediately attacked one of my dogs. After they separated, I remained close to my dogs to ensure they were not causing the problems which they weren't. Upon walking back towards the front of the park, the same dog owned by a tall heavyset blond woman and another person's dog, owner male both jumped my dog pinning my husky to the ground, while they both tried to bite him. Neither owner did anything to stop it. I had to get in there for them to stop attacking my dogs risking getting bit myself. After it was over, the female dog owner had the audacity to tell me I should take my dogs and go when it was her dog and the other dog's male owner that did nothing. Just stood there and watched. My husband had never had an issue at this park, but I refuse to go again and it's the closest park to our home. Photos of owners and dogs attached. I would highly advise against taking your dog into this park if they're around. Horrible and frightening experience with owners that did not care and did nothing to make it stop. The lady also persisted to laugh and make fun of me for being upset. I intend to file reports with animal control and spoke to a sheriff while at the park. read more

I stop by here each morning while out walking my dogs and it makes for a nice water break however it seems the path between the two parks has become a public toilet for the people hanging out at the bus station. On too many occasions I've seen people taking a piss in the bushes so it stinks, there's trash everywhere and so you can only imagine what goes on there at nighttime. We only use the small dog side as I've tried to enter the large park but owners don't pull their barking dogs away from the gate to allow you to safely enter. The benches are nice under the shade canopy and there always seems to be a supply of doggy bags tho I always have to walk around and pick up before my dog does. Quick Edit to add pics. It needs to rain soon as the stink of piss is overwhelming and Im not talking about the dogs. Theres toilet paper all over the place and its just gross. Picked up a syringe inside the park this morning before a dog starts chewing on it. The city needs to clean this place up, maybe cut down all that brush then theres no place for them to hide. read more

My wife and I like to take our little Boston Terrier here sometimes to help him socialize with some other dogs. Right now his only opportunities for socialization include cooing from my wife and the occasional (ROSCO!) from me. Rosco is his name by the way. He's a brat, but we kind of sort of really like him. Anyway, we go to this dog park (the small dog section) because there are usually a lot of dogs there. Note, if you have a small dog, don't even try the large dog section. It may look happy and inviting, but some of the dogs there are overly aggressive with passive owners that aren't doing anything to check their dog's behavior. At the small dog park, there is a shelter with a doggie fountain. There is also a bucket that is usually filled with clean water. The park is large and there is plenty of room for your dog to run and get all of his or her energy out. The ONLY downside of the small dog area is that it's beside the bus stop, and sometimes you get a couple of homeless people hanging around (they're just watching the dogs play and are mostly harmless). If random homeless folks watching your dog play is a turn-off, then don't go here (especially after 6 PM ET). read more

It needs more stuff for the dogs to do and it also needs more trees. The park is okay but boring for the dogs and the human also.

Next to a bus station just off West Waters Ave. on Sheldon Ave. (quick left if you're going north off Waters) this is a nice new dog park. The small dog and large dog areas are wayyyyyy apart. The large dog area includes a spa area with tub, faucet and fountain. Ground cover combines astro turf and grassy areas. A couple obstacles. Thinh An is nearby. The dogs and owners were friendly when we were there although one of them drueled on my lil princess. read more

Love this dog park! Great location, clean and packed with loads of amenities for the dogs. My fur baby is less than 10lbs which naturally qualifies him to get into the small dog park. There is a tub of water, hoops, tubes and bars for him to practice his agility or take a refreshing splash when it gets too hot. There is also a water fountain for the dogs and a shady cool place to sit with benches for fur parents. Love this park, this is one of many future visits read more

Love this park! It has officially outdone Davis Island! I love the astroturf and the shaded bench area as well as the agility training obstacles available for the girls! My only issue is dog owners not picking up after pets and people need to realize it's a DOG park and not a childrens park, but that's not the parks fault! Mabel and Penny have a blast and that's all I ask for! read more

This is our regular dog park, since it is closest to where we live. Overall, all of our pups enjoys this park. There are definitely some dirt patches, so the dogs can easily get pretty dirty. There is one concrete slab with some benches that is covered for shade, but I do wish there was more shaded areas for both the dogs and the humans. read more

Brought my dog here on a weekday and it was the perfect park!!! The parking lot is large and the big dog park is just the right size. They do have a shaded area for people to sit down and also to keep the dogs cooled off. The park is all real grass so your pup WILL get dirty here if they are prone to rolling in dirt or digging. They have a large tub that is normally full of water too. Good spot for your large pup! read more

It's great to have a nice little dog park closer to where I live. There is a good amount of space here for dogs to run around. There used to be more grass but it seems to be during a little during the winter months, I'm sure it'll spring back up later. There is an ample amount of parking here and it'll connect you right up to the local trails here if you feel like walking around. If you feel like sitting there is a good amount of covered seating for the human. For the dogs there are a couple of obstacles they can play with and the other dogs that usually come here are all very nice. There is a big dog park and a little dog park, each is based on the dogs weight. I've seen little dogs in the big dog park, never been any problems there, but I've never seen a big dog in the little dog park. All in al if your dogs need to let out some energy this is a great place to take them too. It's nice and easy to sit down and still keep an eye on them while they run. read more

It was a very nice park, open and plenty of space to run around. Only down fall is some of the owners fail to watch their dogs which resulted in some dogs ganging up on each other I understand it can happen anywhere but we should intervene if it gets a little too much Update 7/18/18 Went again to see if maybe it was just a bad day but it was actually worse almost all the dogs got into some sort of confrontation. Definitely won't recommend read more

This is a great dog park that is divided into Small Dogs (less than 25 pounds) & Large Dogs (over 25 lbs). In the small dog park the water fountain for the dogs does not work correctly. The water barely comes out & you have to use the hose on the other side. read more

best kept secret in the area, it's a nice little dog park, with a large dog section and a small dog section.

This is my favorite dog park as of now. I have a small dog so always visited small dog area. Very well shaded and small so helps in the sense that you can always see your dog. read more

This is a nice large dog park that was recently built. It great because its closer to home then other dog parks. They have a small and large dog park, they are on opposite ends of the parking lot so the small dog park is a little hidden. They have a good shaded area and benches. Lots of tubs and buckets for water. The immediate area around the sitting area is astro turf, which is nice when everything dries up and there is dirt everywhere. They also have some training and activity items for the dogs such as hoops to jump through and a pole to jump over. There are usually plenty of dogs there so your dog can run around and get tuckered out. Its not fancy or anything, but its a good spot to take your dog to release some energy! read more

Clean, well fenced and hallelujah they have shade! Two sides - one for big dogs and one for small. So glad this opened up!

It's a huge park which is nice. But there are usually a lot of dogs there so I only take my dog when there are a few. I took her this morning and there were 4 other dogs there. A couple were barking and growling at the gate before we got in but that's normal, I let her in and the other dogs sniffed her and they all went about their business. My dog went to play in the grass while the other dogs stayed around their owners who were all standing under the covered area talking. I sat down and my dog came over to me, another dog came closer to her and stared at her and then growled and lunged at her. I tried to pull my dog away and that dog actually bit me instead. It took about 20 seconds to pull that dog away from mine and his owner pulled mine to the other side. I heard the other owners saying "it looked like they were just gnarling" I immediately left with my dog and my hand bleeding. When I got home I noticed her ear was bleeding and there was a gash on the inside. I have 5 cuts on my hand. I probably will not be going back to this park, and I would just caution to watch your dog and watch other dogs closely. read more
