It can be pretty loud (it's maybe 150 feet from I-35 and on one of the busiest streets in Gainesville) and the plaques are starting to peel off in the sun, but it's definitely worth visiting if you get a chance.

There is ample parking on the street, and there are plenty of benches (I think 10 or 12) that are all under shady trees. There's a water fountain and separate faucet for the dogs, a little run/park for small or shy dogs, and lots of poop bag dispenser things. There are two weird things, though: The park is directly next to the train tracks, so that can be loud. The dogs didn't seem to care very much, but it was really obnoxious for the rest of us. And I don't know if this is normal or not, but the gates to get into the park have really strong magnets instead of latches, and there's a warning for people with pacemakers to stay 12 feet away. That's a strange decision. It's a beautiful park with tons of room and big, established trees for shade. The train can be loud in general, but especially initially when they're laying on the horn full blast.
