Stephanie Chin· a year agoSmall dog and a separate large dog fenced dog park. It’s fabulous plenty of shade. There’s some Sandy parts to run through. There’s a hose and water source. People have brought tennis balls and toys to play with. Handicap accessible.
Suzanne Roquemore· 5 months agoGreat dog park- grass area, sand area, lots of shade. It's been raining for days prior to our visit today and it's not muddy at all. Great park h plenty of friendly dogs. The owners are nice, too.
Jason C.· 4 years agoWOW this is an AWESOME dog park!!!! We found this gem while backroading the area in our Jeep, it is in a great rural location. The grounds are clean, and we'll maintained. There's plenty of shade, and a big water tub for the dogs to cool off in. We are staying in Marathon, but our dogs love this place so much that we drive down once a day for them to run off their energy. Drive SLOW in this area, the Key deer are everywhere. I highly recommend taking your dog here, they will love it.
Joyce Bender· 5 months agoDon't go here on a Saturday morning. There is a bunch of locals who hang out with aggressive dogs that are not controlled.Very disappointed. One owner in particular didn't even try to control his dog's snarling and snapping.
jason marks· 4 months agoNice little dog park tennis court and beach volleyball.
