She is so excited to spend her time with the Donnie's World pack, wether we are dropping her off, or she is hopping on the bus with the pack in the morning, she is living the best canine life possible, available only in Naples. Priscilla and her team have created an environment for the pack that is a life enrichment for them in so many ways and second to none here in SWFL. Buffett comes home after a day with her friends, smiling (yes Boxers can smile) and exhausted. We couldn't be happier about what the Donnie's World team and the environment they have created provides to our family member. It is a significant reason why she is so well adjusted, friendly and calm in any environment she is exposed to. We highly recommend this experience to be included as a life enrichment experience for all canines in the area. It really is the best doggie daycare we have ever found.

This is a beautiful dog park within Mackle Park on Marco Island. The small dogs and large dogs are…read moresplit apart into separate spaces, both which border the small lake in Mackle Park. There is ample space for everyone to run and play within both sections. There are definitely regulars who meet up with their dogs at specific times throughout the day, which allows the dogs to socialize with a familiar group (and same for the adults). When a new dog does come, they all get very excited and curious, and all the owners I've seen at Canine Cove are very responsible. The upkeep of the area is well done by the city and recreation center. There was new sod placed in the large dog area just the other day, with the area fenced off (though the dogs didn't really let some orange plastic stop them). And there isn't much natural shade on the side for the large dogs, so wear a hat if you go in the morning.

Beautiful scenery, peaceful walking paths, and plenty of space to enjoy nature with our pup without feeling restricted or unwelcome. The trails were well maintained, easy to navigate, and offered such a nice mix of greenery, water views, and shaded areas. It ended up completely saving our day after striking out at a few other places nearby. If you're visiting Naples with your dog and looking for a relaxing outdoor spot to walk, explore, and unwind together, this is definitely worth the visit.

The park is lovely... I love butterflies and as soon as I stepped out of the car, we saw many of them so I was sure it was going to be a good day. We started off on the asphalt pavement path and eventually ended up on the boardwalks too... the paths are very wide and great views of the forest and water areas. Saw many species of birds including an osprey in his huge nest. Loved the bridge that crossed the Gordon River and the lookout rest area nearby. If I visited in any cooler month and with less bugs, I'd give the park a 5 star but the bugs and the heat were tough.

Mackle Park was named in honor of Frank E. Mackle Jr. (1916-1993). Mackle was a developer who had…read morepreviously developed Key Biscayne with his brothers. Frank arrived in what was then a primitive Marco Island in 1962 and saw potential in the undeveloped town. He was soon joined in the venture by his brothers, Elliott and Robert. All of the brothers were engineers and were employed by the Deltona Corporation founded by their father. Frank became the President of the Deltona Corporation and led the modernization of Marco Island. Mackle Park is impressive as it has everything that residents and visitors to Marco Island could want in outdoor recreation. The park has a community center with teen center, basketball court, bocce courts, open field area for play, picnic area, shuffleboard courts, a soccer/football field, volleyball court, and splash pad. One of the standout feature of the park is the creative playground that is a hit with kids. It has a pirate ship, castle turrets, and lots of places to climb and engage in imaginative play. My favorite part of the park is the beautifully landscaped walking path that winds around the lake. A sign at the entrance to the trail shows how you can increase the half mile walk around the lake to .9 miles by incorporating walking the perimeter of the fields in the back of the park. It is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous jog. The lake is also a great place to bird watch and fish. Mackle Park has something for everyone. It offers a blend of recreational facilities and natural beauty that makes it a must-visit for anyone in the area. Whether you're looking to let the kids play, enjoy a peaceful walk, or partake in community events or a class, Mackle Park offers it all and more.
