The dog park is located in the Avalon Park development off of SR 54 near the main clubhouse. To my surprise it is pretty big and all fenced in with benches in the shade as well as in the sun. It also has a water fountain and has two dog waste stations and poop bags are stocked! The downside was my dog didn't have anyone to socialize with as it was pretty quiet and no one around but he still managed to run around and get in some good exercise playing fetch with me. I will definitely come back with him again on a day like this beautiful day! Hoping next time their will be other dogs for him to play with.

Not only does it have a lake right in the middle of the big dog park, it has plenty of old growth trees all around the park and poop bag dispensers and trash cans and benches on concrete bases. They also have a bathroom inside the dog park right next to a water fountain!! They have two separate Gates with there being two entries at each the big and small dog park entrance but the bathroom is in the big dog park hahaha sorry I couldn't help myself. But you can walk around the interior of the fence line but you probably should pack a lunch because it may be a while. Parking is right next to the dog park and is a nice big asphalt parking lot. But it's a great place to spend the day and let your dog run and playing and even get in the lake if it's so desires!!

I had a group meet up here for a fun time of food and games. This was my first time at this park…read moreand overall a good experience. Apparently, the pavilions are first come first served. A sweetheart from the group arrived at 6 am and was able to secure a nice pavilion on the lakeside, adjacent to the restrooms and across from plenty of parking. The pavilion come with a grill (we didn't use) and a large trash bin nearby. The area had a few trees around and was nicely shaded, this made the combination of good weather result in a really good experience. There is a nice trail for walking, hiking and cycling. Near the parking, there is a play area for children and a fenced dog park area. Overall, I thought I had a good experience and think that it is a fabulous area. I do hope to get back out here at some point in the future.

Lake Hiawatha Preserve Park - Frisbee Golf (Disc Golf Course)…read more Finally, a legit 18-hole disc golf course near Clermont, Florida. It's also a great place to bring your dogs! They have a nice fenced in area to let your dogs mingle and play with other dogs off the leash and there's a trail and some back country you can take them and run with. The good: - Solid mix of wooded technical holes and a few open bombers around the lake. Holes 4-8 along the water are gorgeous, especially at sunset. - Tee pads are concrete and in great shape (huge upgrade from the old rubber mats). - New Mach X baskets catch well and the bright yellow bands make them easy to spot. - Multiple pin positions on several holes keep it fresh -- they move them every few months. - Free parking, clean porta-potty near hole 1, and the course flows really well. Rarely any backups even on weekends. The "eh": - Can get soggy after rain (bring boots in spring). A couple fairways hold water like a sponge. - Hole 13's long position is a total prayer across the marsh -- fun once, frustrating the other 19 times. Highly recommend for intermediate and up. Beginners might get humbled on the back 9, but that's how we all learn! Will keep coming back. 4.5 stars rounded down only because mother nature still wins sometimes.

Hi everyone, I wish I could write a better review, but…read morehonestly, this dog park is disgusting. Mount Dora is a lovely town, and there are clearly lots of dog lovers here--but this park is a nightmare. We just arrived, and my dog was running around, excited to explore. Then he sat down... right in another dog's poop. I had to rush him to the car to clean him off. Absolutely gross and completely unacceptable. Yes, the park has three separate fenced areas for different dog sizes, and yes, each has a shaded terrace. But by the time you reach the terrace, you're stepping in so much dog poop that it doesn't even matter if it's shaded. You're going to have to turn right back around and clean off your dog and your shoes. Do not bring your dog here. Let the people who live in this neighborhood deal with their own mess. Unless your goal is for your dog to step in or sit in poop, this park is not worth your time. The good things about this park are completely overshadowed by how unclean and unmanaged it is.

There is also an agility training area with some equipment. Each park has water faucets and water bowls. One big deficiency however is that the small and large dog parks each have a pavilion to provide shade and protection from the rain whereas the middle dog park has nothing. The humans of the middle dog park even had to buy their own chairs to sit in while their fur babies play! We feel just like the middle child in a family-ignored.

Parking is very close to the gate and once you enter the main gate you have a decision of either going to the big park or the small dog park. The big dog park is ginormous with two big sunken fields for the dogs to run and play in. There are some agility items in them and also a nice covered gazebo with benches and picnic tables underneath it. There is a nice wide walking path all the way around the top outside of the dog park with seating and concrete areas with pools on them for the dogs to play in. You can park fairly close and there is a very nice walking trail in case you want to take your dog for a walk

The Villages did an excellent job of restoring this genuine spring, after it had been ravaged by agricultural use. The boardwalk loops around, and one can experience this uniquie area without struggling through muck. The highlight is catching sight of alligators, who are attracted to the endless food source of catfish, and like to bask in the sun at various spots on sandbars and on shore. This is an opportunity to get close to an alligator with minimal risk, as they can not get through the fencing on the side of the boardwalk, and are unlikely to leap over it. If you just admire them they will not bother you. It is unwise to try the same close admiration at retention ponds as alligators can move very quickly despite their sleepy appearance. There are usually interesting long legged birds hanging out in the same area that the alligator favors as well. This attraction is not too far from Route 301, and the adjacent restaurant is pretty good as well, so worth a stop if you are motoring about.
