The Dog Pond is a great spot for a walk with your dog or just to enjoy the outdoors. The walking…read moretrails are well maintained and provide a peaceful place to get some exercise and enjoy nature. The only downside is that there are a lot of flies in the evening, so it's a good idea to bring bug spray if you're visiting at night. Overall, it's a nice place to spend some time outside, and I'd definitely recommend it.

Staying at Gulf State Park provided a wonderful amenity for our dog, the pond and park at Sylvan…read moreLake. Off leash, shaded, and access to swimming for our pet. She loved it!

Once again I'll state that I don't have a dog today but I had dogs throughout my childhood and my…read morehoney our little family had Belle and Annabelle (two beautiful cocker spaniels) for over 20 years. That being said, this park is close by and I've been here with #1 daughter's two sweet cockers (out grandpuppies :-) and with friends and neighbors so I'm go here from m time to take me. Here's some big news today (August 2, 2021) The City of Gulf Shores has noticed an increase in personal chairs and belongings being brought in and left at the dog park. For the safety and enjoyment of our park users, we are going to install permanent park benches. Moving forward, in order to adequately maintain the dog park, we ask that all personal items, including chairs, be removed from the dog park DAILY. We are committed to providing a beautiful, safe, and well-maintained facility for our residents and pets. All items left in the park after August 13th will be removed and disposed of. Our fence still has some damage from Hurricane Sally, but be on the lookout for repairs to that soon! #LeaveOnlyPawPrints Bottom line: It's a great little doggie park but yo can start leaving your chairs at home and if you've left one here, come got it.

A lot of space to run and great seating for the humans! Lots of grassy area and sand for digging…read more Great part of town it seems. One small thing is I wish there was lighting when it was getting dark. It's probably closed after dark but sometimes you gotta burn a little doggie energy off before bed and it's pitch black out there. We were just visiting from out of town but we went twice a day fir the whole trip! We miss this park!

Plein Air painting event at The Lodge, Gulf State Park…read more... Hoping this will be an annual event, as the art community convened a plein air event, bringing together artists with the inspiration of Gulf State Park's many habitats. The result was a large number of paintings which were for purchase at the closing reception at the end of the week. The weather was mild, the food and drink at The Lodge was yummy (I had the steak and eggs for brunch), and it was so cool to watch the artists paint live.

Absolutely phenomenal park!!! I am blown away! Gorgeous landscape, beautiful sunsets, the flora and…read morefauna have me in awe. 28 miles of trails for biking and walking. I've spotted alligators, blue heron, turtles, lizards.. very cool! All the campsite hosts are friendly and our check-in was very easy and we were also greeted with welcoming service. We chose campsite number 479 right next to Mission Lake and the pedestrian bridge that takes you to the ocean. This campground is so clean, beautiful, and offers multiple bathrooms with showers and restrooms. The bathrooms are clean and the showers have enough space to shower and change. Each campsite I've seen has a dump station and water, which has come in handy. There's also Wi-Fi! There's also a restaurant on the campgrounds and tomorrow night we are going to listen to live music and have a few drinks. I've truly loved my stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone! We were only going to stay for four nights but we extended it to a week because we are having such a great time.

Although it only has a single gate entry, it does have some incredible new fencing as well as just about everything else a dog park could need. It even has a self-filling water bowl or maybe I should say small Lake. The park is obviously very new, so everything is bright and shiny. They have a tremendous old-growth tree as well as a few agility items spaced here and there along with a couple half pipes for the dogs to run through and hide under. They have two nice benches in the park and the way it's laid out there is room for your dog to get a good run. There are multiple parking spots right in front of the dog park.

They are doing construction currently so parking is a little difficult, but once they're done I'm sure it will be easy. The dog park is ginormous and has what can only be described as a mini Forest, and a great big open Green Meadow. There are poop bag dispensers hidden every here and there as well as trash cans and benches. It has a very large double gated concrete entry area. But mostly it just has a lot of natural nature for your dogs to get back to Nature in

This is our second visit to the fog park…read more It is a great park. A section for large dogs and a second for small. Water available in both. There are even doggie bag dispensaries and a couple benches. The best part, it is in the shade, so you can bring your dog in the summer and not bake alive. Check out this great park!

The play areas do have quite a bit of dirt during the colder months. My dog enjoyed roaming around and even had a chance to play with another dog even though we visited on a rainy day. There are poop bags available for use and there is plenty of parking!

Talk to GOD and get a…read moreDOG! #ReflectDogs Love & Forgiveness Okay, although this dog park is much larger than it looks, and it is definitely a solid four plus dog Star Park, it was while we were at the park, this park in particular, that the webmaster notified us that Young Lady's animal rescue charity was now up and live!! So I got an extra point for that alone!! It was the culmination of a two-year journey through well over 1000 dog parks that she took me on, so I could really see the love and forgiveness in action. This park has just about anything and everything you could want. From what appears to be a complete Forest up in the back corner too wide open area for them to run in and the rest of the park. There are plenty of water faucets and poop bag dispensers and trash cans and trees and places to sit. The people were more than friendly and the dogs all had a great time!! The Gated entry is very easy to use and has a concrete slab. There is also a nice concrete pathway that takes you out to the sitting area so if you have Mobility difficulties or are in a wheelchair, you can easily make it out to the seating area. All the wood benches have nicely carved memorials in them. The small dog park is bigger than most big dog parks. My only question would be, who decided putting the squirrel feeder right in the middle of the dog park was a good idea, don't get me wrong, I love it!! I'm just not sure the squirrels knew what they were in for when they headed down into it to get a nut!! Anyway this park is absolutely incredible and a very fitting park for us to launch the animal rescue charity!!

A very long, linear green-space with paved walkways for walking, jogging, biking, walking the dog…read more It is well lit, has electrical outlets plus water hose spigots near the parking lot. I believe the entire park is 1.7 miles, I did not walk the whole thing. It was decorated for the holidays. Has a large pavilion with benches. There are dog waste bags & trashcans, but they are few & far between. A few benches & chair swings here & there. I did not see a restroom, but there was a large handicapped accessible port-a-potty in front of the public works building, which is across the street from the small parking lot. I am unsure if skateboarding is prohibited or not, I saw no signs stating that, but I could be wrong. This park is pet friendly, dogs allowed, I saw other people walking their leashed dogs.
