The only dog park I found acceptable is Doggy Doo Run Run on CR 101 just outside of TV. Lots of room, clean, grassy, plenty of shade for dogs and people. It was $3/visit or $30/month unlimited. You had to provide a vaccination record, and the dog had to be neutered. The only time I liked going there was 2 pm when it was empty. The early morning crowd was too much for us. Many people congregate at certain times and pay more attention to each other than to what their dogs are doing. This was especially true at Moyer (I think it's called Atlas Dog Park), where a certain dog would whip the pack up into a frenzy while the owner paid no attention. We quit going there. There was no shade, anyway. It also had drainage problems, which may have been fixed by now.
Our guy is now too old to go to a dog park, but he and I don't really miss it.
