Good to know

Fully fenced with a divider for big vs. small dogs; shaded areas, picnic tables and dog drinking fountains on site.
Posted gate hours are sometimes 6 AM–8:30 PM while the City lists sunrise-to-sunset — go by whatever is posted at the gate.
Open and exposed in spots — Florida heat builds fast, so bring water and use the shade, especially midday in summer.
