The dogs that I seen here are very sociable. The owners are attentive, respectful, and neighborly. There is a great deal of shading from the trees even on hot days. This allows the dogs to play a little longer than normal. There is a concrete sidewalk that goes across the dog park. The small dog park has one water fountain and a bench. It shares a fence with the big dog park and they can tend to run the fence line when things get going. The big dog park is mostly made up of sand and trees. There are 3 benches and 2 water fountains. The fountains are purely for the dogs as the human portion is non-functioning. One of the fountains continuously runs and has made a bit of a mess. At 1 end of the park, the dogs love to roam through it on a hot day and roll in the slop to cool down Bring a towel. read more

As far as a park goes, I would have to give this place three stars. It has a senior citizen attached to it, as well as a swimming pool. There is also a small Lake and a few sport fields. Honestly, it seems like there is more parking lot than actual park. All in all, I would say that there are probably better options in the area. read more

Went to go vote! #WEGOTTHIS vote vote we lost but we won vote 2024 vote voter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoy this park because of it's location. It is double gated on both sides and also has a small dog area that is separated and also double gated. It has dog watering stations at each entrance as well as dog cleanup stations with bags and trash cans so owners can clean up after their dogs. It is nicely shaded with lots of trees and a walking path that is wide and made of concrete with benches along the way. Park is not huge but has enough room for dogs to run and explore. Of course as with other dog parks you have to worry about other aggressive or dominant dogs, bad owners, people not cleaning up, etc. I always worry about my dog catching a disease or something from other unvaccinated dogs. I do wish the park had lights at least along the pathway because it gets dark so early. Only light comes from the basketball court that backs up to the side. The park is included with the larger park that has basketball courts, tennis courts, large pond, etc. It's a nice area. read more

The last few times weve been there there is a strong evidence of people living on the grounds full time. Unfortunately there were two piles if human feces on the dock, clothing left in neat stacks on the same dock. And my grandson can NEVER catch anything from the pond. Disappointing on every aspect. read more

Great little dog park to allow the free spirits roam. I like the water bowls provided for the dogs. The only thing that would make it better is a wading pool. read more

Best park on the Northside of Jacksonville! Since the Pokemon craze started, we're at this park every night. There's a Pokemon Gym here and 6 Pokestops. You'll also always find Magicarps around the water. They have a great public pool, a senior center, a playground for the kiddos, two tennis courts, a baseball field, basketball courts, a small dog play area, a large dog play area, and a lake where you can fish with a nice walking path around it. Most nights, they keep the lights on pretty late for the basketball courts and the tennis courts. When my girls were young, I would bring there here all the time to play on the playground or I'd take them to the pool. Now, it's all about the Pokemon for us (hehe). read more

I love the series of Mad Max movies, so of course I love this park. I take my kids here to teach them about nature and socialism. The nature trail is the bomb, especially if that bomb was placed next to a dumpster. The broken glass is a great way to test out the quality of your hiking boots. The pond the best place in Jax to see turtles as well as abandoned shopping carts. It is as if the Jacksonville hired the team from Parks and Rec (minus Leslie Knope) to run this place. The dog park is nice and my kids love the covered playground. If king for a day, I would prioritize free outdoor activities in this time of pandemic. Please clean up this park. read more

We just moved to Jacksonville from San Diego and needed a dog park. I'm impressed and happy we found this park! *LARGE* DOG PARK: Seemed small upon pulling up, but it's nice and big! lack of grass isn't an issue for us, as we are used to not having grass at dog parks (plus poop gets suck in grass, yuck!). Not sure why the previous review says no upkeep? The park doesn't have grass but it's clean! The dog park has benches, dog poop bag stations, dog water fountains, and a paved trail from beginning (parking lot) to end (small dog park entry). It's nice and shaded with trees. Dogs were friendly and owners were attentive and responsible, which was very nice. Can't speak for the small dog park as my dog is 50 lbs haha. We walked around to the tennis court area, courts and nets seem really well kept. The rest of the area by the tennis courts and baseball field was also well kept and free of litter. read more

We've only been here a few times for the dog park and our recent visit on Sunday, November 29th 2020 was consistent with the previous visits.You could not look anywhere in the entire park, both the dog park, the courts and the surrounding area without seeing a great deal of trash. We counted at least 50 plastic drink bottles around the basketball court alone. The large dumpster across from the senior center had more garbage outside of it than inside, the regular garbage bins were all overflowing, none of the poop bag dispensers had any bags, and we walked around the little retention pond and it looked like there were several homeless encampments, piles of garbage that were thrown over the fence from the Winn-Dixie and debris littered every step of the way including shoes and clothing. It's incredibly disappointing to see such lack of care and plain old neglect. read more

It's one of the dated parks. The kids play area is shaded and nice. It has a pool next to it, A senior center, tennis courts, basket ball courts and from the reviews a dog park as well. It could use some TLC with a few things and a little community care picking up trash but, other than that it seems like a nice quiet place to bring the family. read more

Review is based solely on the Dog Park. Pros: Empty - few if no one else was there the few times I visited the dog park. Plenty of parking and no over crowding. Spacious - plenty of space for a pup to run around and play catch. Multiple areas - separate fenced area for large and small dogs. Cons: Poorly kept - looked more like an abandoned empty lot than an actual dog park. Little to no grass, weeds and some type of giant mushrooms growing all over the place. No water - there were a couple fountains but they were locked. Not much to look at, but overall the park serves it purpose as long as you bring your own water and bowl. read more

Which we enjoy this park it could seriously use a clean up. The dog park is covered in poop everywhere. We always clean up after our dogs but that is not the case for most. It's disgusting. The whole park could use a clean up badly. We love the dog park though and there is always friendly dogs there for ours to play with. read more

Great kid playground with community center, pool, dog park, community garden, lake, walking trails. Wish all parks in JAX were like this one. Just missing swings. read more

Just moved to Jax and found this dog park and was very nice. It fenced and has two areas for small and large dogs. The only downside is that there is no water for the dogs, they have trash cans and poop baggies. It has trees and benches around. The area has bbq area with pinic tables. Some people smoke and leave they cigarrettes around... which I end up cleaning so my puppy didn't eat then. But other wise it was great!!! Take your doggy!! read more

This park is awesome! The location of the playground is perfect for catching cross breezes and has a tarp for shade in the summer. Every time I have gone there has been a police officer there for safety. There is a wooded path along the pond. It goes quite far and is well maintained. Several benches along the path. If you feel environmental, take a plastic bag on your hike to collect the trash that lazy people leave behind. Keep bug repellent handy when you come here - the pond breeds mosquitoes like crazy. read more

My dogs LOVE this park. Narrow, but loonnnggg so my guy can run his legs off. People mostly pick up their dogs waste. Nice benches.

My dogs, love the dog park!!! My kids enjoy the pool and I enjoy the easy, country, escape feel of the trail around the lake. I have watched this park grow and change over the years and it is greatly improved. read more

Great location. Large and small dog park; pet water fountain, benches for owners; cement walkway. Lots of area for pets to explore. Park also has tennis courts, basketball court and playground for the little ones! I saw a sign for swimming pool but haven't had the time to investigate that! read more

This dog park is wonderful and underutilized. The fence is in good shape. Plenty of shade for summer time. It would be better if there were more dogs using it, so mine have pups to play with. This is a great stop before a trip to the Winn Dixie. read more
