They have a water station for dogs and a lot of bench sitting areas. Although, I do want to acknowledge that the gates in both entrances of this park are broken. If you have a smaller dog, please pay closer attention to them, because they might get through the gate. In addition, it is fairly small and they don't separate the big and the small dogs. But if you're okay with that, then I suggest to come for a much needed puppy play date

I've been coming here consistently since July 2023, usually 4 to 6 days a week every single week,…read moreso this place has genuinely been a huge part of my routine and community. My Google review from a year ago gave this place five stars because it truly felt like an amazing space built around dogs, community, and responsible ownership. Looking back at that review now honestly makes the decline even more disappointing, because even just a year ago this place felt completely different in the best way. This place is supposed to be a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs and the people who love them. For many members, our dogs are family, and that's why the recent direction of the business has become genuinely heartbreaking and honestly alarming to watch. A growing number of members are becoming deeply uncomfortable with the decision to repeatedly host large rave-style events at a facility specifically designed for dogs. After previous events, there were already serious concerns about the condition of the property afterward, even after professional cleaning crews had supposedly finished. Members and staff still found debris throughout the space and parking lot and many people are now questioning whether any environment used for late-night parties like this can realistically ever be cleaned well enough to guarantee dogs are safe there afterward. Dogs spend their entire time at this facility with their noses on the ground, sniffing turf, licking surfaces, and putting things in their mouths. That is exactly what dogs do. The idea that dangerous substances, residue, pills, or other hazardous materials could potentially be missed during cleanup is terrifying for pet owners. One mistake could have DEVASTATING consequences for someone's dog. The best comparison I can make is this: imagine if a daycare hosted large rave parties at night and then told parents the next morning that everything had been cleaned and was safe again. Most parents would never feel comfortable with that. That is exactly how many dog owners are starting to feel here. What made this weekend especially upsetting was learning that the business was supposed to reopen after the latest event, only for members to then receive notice that the facility would remain closed due to cleanup issues, with uncertainty about reopening even the next day. That only reinforced concerns that these events are creating problems far beyond a normal private party. At the same time, members continue paying premium annual fees while receiving reduced operating hours, less access, ongoing inventory problems at the bar, and repeated closures tied to outside events. Many people joined because this was marketed as a community-centered space focused on dogs, safety and responsible ownership. Lately, it feels like those priorities are no longer coming first. I know several members who are already questioning whether they will renew their memberships because trust in the safety and direction of the business is starting to disappear.

I'm so happy to be the first to welcome the new Madison Street Park to the Channelside district of…read moreDowntown Tampa! The Madison Street Park is located North of Kennedy Grand Central, South of Bell Channelside, and East of Channelside Club off Madison Street and Meridian, North of Kennedy. The developer of Martin at Meridian, Ken Stoltenberg of Mercury Advisors, donated a portion of the land he purchased for his property to the park. The Madison Street Park features 2 gated dog parks, an event space, a putting green, 3 shaded areas, a 2 water fountain for dogs, 3 water fountain for people, picnic tables, benches, 5 lounge chairs, a kids play area, climbing blocks, a mixed-use recreation court for volleyball or pickleball, and 2 shuffleboard courts. There is also plenty of space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. I heard that there would be a 51-foot arched bench consisting of thousands of pieces of hand-blown Tampa Bay inspired glass art by artist Susan Gott but it is not featured at the park yet. Perhaps the artist is running behind schedule or decided not to feature her art at the park after all. I hope she does add it when she finishes it. It sounded like a beautiful piece of art that would be great for the park! The Madison Street Park provides a nice respite of a natural green space in the urban concrete jungle of the Channelside District area. The benefits of the Madison Street Park will be improved health and well-being for the neighborhood. The Madison Street Park is a perfect addition to the Channelside area to give everyone in Channelside a place for their dogs to have unleashed fun within a block or 2 from their residence. The Madison Street Park is 2 blocks south of the Deputy Kotfila Memorial Dog Park and 2 blocks north of Washington Street Park. Compared to these 2 parks, this park is larger and superior in every way! I look forward to many more visits to here in the future and am so happy to finally get this park Downtown! It is a very pretty and well thought out park! I highly recommend you visit if you have a dog and are in the downtown Tampa Channelside area!

This park has a playground and a splashpad for kids, a small skateboard/bike area for kids, a dog park pavillions for picnics, restrooms by the play area and dog park and a really nice long walking path around the huge pond. There is also a small stage near the big open field so it would be a good location for concerts. The park is on county land adjacent to a water treatment plant, which supplies the pond with reclaimed water. What a great use of space! I will bet most people wouldn't notice that but I work for another local government so I notice those things. Lots of people were out enjoying the nice weather. People with their kids in the kids area, people with their pets in the pet atea and people like me shopping for plants. They also had some food trucks out and staff/volunteers directing traffic and keeping things nice. Again, great venue for a festival in the heart of Carrollwood Village.
