It has specific hours which I can't remember. Went there once with the fur kids and it was closed.

There are three dog friendly leash-free parks in The Villages. These parks are fenced in play areas for both large and small dogs so the dogs can run freely and socialize with other dogs. These parks also have doggy amenities like water and waste stations and people amenities like benches and pleasant scenery. The Villages Dog Parks are:
•Paradise Park – east side of golf cart bridge
•Mulberry- Belle Meade Circle adjacent to the fitness trail near the Village of Springdale
•Brinson/Perry – 1231 Bonita Boulevard

Hours: 7am – Dusk

Dog Park users must be 13 years of age or older and must have their Villages Resident ID card or a valid guest ID card and a photo ID. Guest 13-18 years of age must be accompanied by a Village resident or guest 19 years of age or older.

Further information is available at the entrance to the dog parks or call 674-1800.

Love the Mulberry dog park but we can't use it. We have a greyhound and greyhounds can't sit and are very long so she can't fit on the golf cart. We have to park and walk to the park and by then, she is tired and doesn't want to walk around. I wish they would make parking by the park. The other 2 dog parks are not good. One is too hilly and the other is all dirt.

This is true, but I believe you can go into the firehouse and ask them to open it. They did it once for me, but I'm not sure if it's their usual policy.

A (locked) gate has been installed at the dirt path I've used to drive to Mulberry - no protesters that I've seen!
