Sarah 3 yr old Morkie. Loves the park.
Simms-Young dog park closed since Irma. Reopening ????????

I have found that the downtown night holiday events are quite noisy. Some have fireworks. Making these events not really where you want to take your dog. Any other time I would say take your dog down to the Events like Light Up Ocala, FL.

As you walk up to the gates of the park it looks great. If you go to the left nice big green grassy fields for big dogs. If you go to the right to the little dog park you get weeds, sand and wood chips which draws the fleas. I would not recommend the little dog park to anyone. I feel like there's dog bias going on. Big dogs count little dogs don't. Really I'm very disappointed in the small dog park I drive all the way from the other side of town to have to take my dogs home because the little dog park is so bad.
Would have preferred a ground floor room with 2 dogs.
