the new dog park south of 466A looks great
 

It's not open yet but it consists of two large fenced in areas. Located off of moyers loop just past Belglade CC. The road is not open yet but it can be seen from the Golf Course.

Just wait.

We drove down and saw it last Sunday. Really nice.

I adopted a bench earlier this week at the Atlas Dog Park! I did it by mail so I hope I like the spot they picked for us in the Small Dog Park. Hopefully, it will be in a nice spot for my 91 year old mother to watch our Shih Tzu puppy!

It looks like any spot for a bench will also be good for watching and interacting with your puppy. :thumbup:


This dog park also has a convenient, big parking lot. The whole area is located in a very picturest setting.

Thank you RDOG3 and The Villages management!

Thats good to hear! We had our choice of putting the bench in the large dog park, small dog park or the walk way. She asked that I put down my first two choices of where we wanted the bench, but it doesn't mean that this is where our bench will be. She called after they received my check and it sounded as if we got our first choice which was the small dog park. She is going to mail my receipt and I should know more after I get it!

Can you tell me who you called for the bench?

I called the VCDD at 352-753-4508 and they referred me to Erica. They are located at 984 Old Mill Run in TV. The bench is $675 which includes the bench, freight, concrete slab, your plaque and installation. Two additional plaques can be added for $50 for each plaque. Erica was very helpful. You can see the benches on the VCDD website -- Village Community Development Districts.

Thanks to SusanG on TOTV for giving me the information!

When is it scheduled to be open?

The receipt came in today's mail. Our bench will be #590 in the Small Dog Park and should be installed within 4-6 months! The park is only a few blocks from our home in The Village of Charlotte! Now, if I could only talk my mother into moving to TV!

This is great to hear! My wife and I bought a house down in the south end of TV and were worried we'd have to golf car the dog quite a ways to get the nearest dog park. Worry no more!

Now if only a Costco, a Trader Joes and a "Mongolian Barbecue"-style restaurant would come to town before we move there, there'll be no reason for us to ever go down to Orlando. Well, other than outlet malls. Nothing's going to keep the wife away from those forever!

During my run today, I took a picture of the new dog park, small dog section. There were quite a few benches already installed. They were not there earlier this week.

Anyway four of them, closest to the entrance had the “name” plates installed. The gate was locked so I didn’t try to get closeup photos. This photo, looking from the gate end shows those four benches and how they are located in the small dog section. The benches on the far end did not have name plates on them.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you for taking the picture. The park looks really nice. I can't wait to see it in person. The best part is that the park isn't too far from our house! Thanks again!
