Default dog park info

Hello fellow Villagers, I would like to take our dog to a park. Please let me know where he can go to make some friends. Thank you.

There is a dog park close to Hadley located on Bonita Boulevard off of Buena Vista. It is behind the fire station. There are two sections.... one for little dogs and one for large dogs. Here is a link which will show you the location. http://www.districtgov.org/departmen...ges/RecMap.pdf

dog park near 441 bridge, also a Lady Lake Dog Park, near Rolling Acres Recreation, golf range and soccer field....Only disadvantage to Paradise Park,
a lot of dirt, but many opportunities to get caught up on their "pee-mail"..

We love the dog park over by Mulberry Grove. Big and small dog areas, lots of grass, water fountains for the pooches, and around eight benches for the dog owners. The biggest drawback is that there is not much shade in the heat of summer, but it doesn't matter much this time of year.

When we go around lunch time it is usually pretty empty, but around 4-5 PM there can be upwards of 20 small dogs for our little guy to play with.

Most of the dog owners are pretty good about picking up after their dogs, but occasionally they get so caught up in their conversations with other owners that they might "miss" picking up the miss. Never fear: The Puppy Poop Police Patrol (PPPP) is usually pretty quick to inform owners when they miss picking up.

Tucker goes to the Bonita park every morning around 8 and would like to make new friends! He's a bit guilty of being friendlier with the parents than the dogs though! He really loved the Pradise Park until we moved closer to Bonita because it was full of squirrels but his visits there usually ended with a bath as soon as he got home! Welcome!

I mean the dog park on Bonita is a joke right? It is probably all right for the small dogs, but how does a large dog ever run there? The Villages couldn't do better than that?
