Tom Petty Dog Park

"Other reviews say this is the best dog park in Gainesville. It's not. So far it's the second best. There is a large large dog enclosure and a smaller small dog enclosure. There's plenty of room in the park and they could both be bigger. There is a water faucet in both enclosures to give your dog water, and maybe even a bath in the dirt. It is however busy, we were at the park for about 45 minutes and my fur baby got to interact with about a dozen dogs. The tennis courts were busy but nothing else."

"Easy access, paved path, park at the southwest corner for closest access. Easily 100 yards from parking to off leash area. GNV city is very good at providing bags, readily available water, and refuse disposal. Lots of friendly people with friendly dogs. Standard dog park etiquette in effect."

"Hole in fence in small dog pen can lead dogs to break out."

"Great place to take your dog for socializing and playing with other dogs. This summer there is construction work so water is out, plan ahead refreshment for your pet before you head out there."

"I GO THERE TO RELAX BY MYSELF. PLUS I NOW OWN A DOG AND THE DOG IS WONDERFUL. THEY PROVIDE WATER AND DOG BOWLS. ALSO A POOL AND BIG DOGS IN ONE PARK AND LITTLE DOGS IN ONE PARK. PLUS THE TENNIS PLAYERS PROVIDE BALLS FOR THE DOGS. VERY PEACEFUL."
