    This place is so quaint and cute. Not a huge park, but it has everything you need to play with your dog off leash. My only complaint is that with all the rain we keep having, the park does have some minor puddling. That's not a huge deal, but something to keep in mind. There are two giant umbrellas for shade with benches nearby. Also there is a playground and skatepark for your non four legged children too. I will definitely keep this place in mind when I need a back up park or change of scenery.

    Good for toddlers young kids and family. There is not much coverage or share areas though. I do recommend it.

    I am very lucky to have a nice dog park just 5 min from our house! I have met people here who…read moretraveled 30 min just to spend time here. All I have to do is say 'park' to our dog and he will run down to the garage door and wait to get in the car! Fido Dog park (also known as the West Orange Dog Park) is located in a tree shaded area right off the turnpike and down the street from the local YMCA. There is lots of parking and its all shaded. The park is divided into two sections... one for smaller dogs and another section about 4 times the size for larger pups. Our dog gets so excited to come here and play with other dogs! There is a drinking fountain for the dogs but we normally just fill up some plastic buckets for them to drink out of. There is a walking path, a few sheltered tables, benches and some training devices for everyone to enjoy. There are even some 'time out' cages for pups who get to excited and need to chill for a bit. For the most part, everyone I have met at the park has been great. They are dog lovers and enjoy treating their pets to some off the leash free time. My dog loves it and has made some friends that they always enjoy playing with. But like any place, there are some people who don't control their dog or don't understand how dogs behave in groups. Different breeds act in different ways. If you know your dog might be a bit more aggressive with other dogs, keep an eye on him/her. In the two years I have been going to this park, I have had to leave twice because of bad owners treating other dogs poorly. I do wish they had a dog wash station or bench were we could hose off our pups. They do get muddy and dirty at times and I always have to bring a towel in the car for dirty rides back home. All in all, I like Fido dog park and I do recommend it for all types of dogs. Enjoy!

    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.

There is ample parking throughout, and plenty of shade structures for the ever present sunny days. We came for the playground which boasts an aerial walkway, and numerous slides with steep angles that are sure to thrill your little ones. While the playground is older, the equipment is by one of the top manufactures of playgrounds in the country. All safety surfaces are new, and the nearby water fountain worked. My kids had a blast and made new friends. We will definitely be coming back to try family activities like fishing and boat rentals.

There are several facilities available including pavilions, grills, disc golf volleyball, playgrounds, swimming, fishing, and even a drone course. There's a bike path, a nature path and a small animal farm where you can see a turkey, chickens, and maybe a variety of other animals. There are cabins (assuming for rent) and a spot for small RVs and trailers. The park includes several restrooms which are very clean. The disc golf course is extensive and likely a bit difficult as it meanders through several wooded areas and even one hole across the water. The park has several pavilions varying in size. Most have parking nearby, however several will require you to hoof your goods a little distance. This is a great place for a family or larger gathering. Two dollar entry fee. Dogs allowed on leash and there are several pet sanitary stations.

I love that they have bathrooms on site and are actually clean lol-- so big plus there! Also I appreciated that the play ground had this squishy bouncy floor that is great for kids running or babies playing-- I believe it helps to prevent injury. This really is a great park! My two cons: the huge lack of shaded areas, and they had a few water fountains but the water was hot and dirty/cloudy looking. And bring in Florida, shade and water are two of the most important things in my opinion lol-- so just be prepared.

Covered playground with (I believe it's called) "rubber mulch." Safe for Littles because they can't eat any pebbles or real mulch. IMMACULATE bathrooms lol I was honestly surprised because public restrooms are usually bad or just okay, but these look and smell like they are sprayed down daily with chlorine/cleaner. There is also a Skate Park next to the soccer fields. 2 parking lots, paved paths, and a small fenced drainage area where you can occasionally see ducks and alligators.
