P. R. Adams· 8 months agoThis park has a nice dog park and wash station. Also, if you're into pickleball, this is your place. The soccer fields are very well maintained obviously and parking is decent and free.
Victor Jamnik· a year agoThis is hands down the best Dog Park in Gainesville. Everything is always kept up and they have the best drinking stations for dogs that are always clean. Even the pay to use Dog Park in Gainesville doesn't come close to this park. They even have a dog bath station that is clean and very nice.
Tim Skinner· 4 months agoclean while maintain park. Nice bathrooms, centrally located
Adreeana Cepeda· 11 months agoThe first time I went was for sand volleyball. I loved it. I keep coming back for the dog park. The entrance/exit on 20th isnt my favorite when I have to make a left to leave.
