I am moving to TV in February with one small dog. How many dog parks are there in TV, and where are they? Do you have to pay to use them?

Thank you.

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.

There is a brand new dog park which is going to be built at the southern end of The Villages, where Brownwood is located. Actually, it will be close to the new Publix shopping center on Route 44, but with internal access from TV.

Final plans are being worked out and hopefully, construction will be starting soon. When built, it will be the nicest dog park within TV.

Don't forget the Town Squares many nights looks like a dog park
Health reasons Please don't let your children or grandchildren touch the flowers or shrubery

That is good news that dogs are allowed in the Town Squares, I didn't know because I'm renting, I'll take my two big dogs, thanks for the info.

Don't let your dogs touch the shrubbery. someone's kids may have contaminated them!

Good Lord. I am a dog owner. I would not ever bring my pet to the squares. Never. Inconsiderate of the many pedestrians, and the shrubs etc which we love are not a doggie rest station. It's just neighborly nor responsible.

I've also seen some near mishaps on the sidewalks there with those long, retractable leashes.

Common sense and common courtesy.

O Boy 4 dog parks for 115k Plus residents. need to be about 10 more to really be pet friendly community! I see plenty of non profitable space around from residents that could be unitized for dog park areas! Then, the whinny would be more fruitful if not utilized. .

IMO each district should have dog park.


I was going to sarcastic like the dog haters but didn't want to go there yet!

That's just your opinion and your dog probably needs manner training, I've only been renting for a month, but I've seen a lot of badly behaved kids running wild at the town squares, no bad dogs. The kids are more of a hazard than dogs because they're all over the place, do you also think that is inconsiderate, irresponsible and lacking in common sense, because those kids should not be at the squares running wild and unsupervised, people can trip and fall on them.

Really?
I have never compared my grand kids to dogs".....................

Not to mention they also leave Kiddie Litter behind
