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.

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.

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.

The park is beautiful, with lots of shade, water fountains, and benches, plus amenities like tennis, basketball, and a soccer field. I chose this park because it's known to be less crowded--great for dogs who are shy or don't always play well with others--and for the most part, it was peaceful. As we were leaving, another dog ran up to Valkyrie after being let off-leash, which was stressful given her fear and leash aggression. Thankfully, I was able to manage the situation quickly. Overall, it was a lovely spring break visit, and I'd definitely return. A great spot for both dogs and their humans!

I would say that the multitude of athletic fields are probably why most people come here. They all appear very well maintained and overall this was a pretty positive experience. While I would not recommend coming here if you are looking more for a park type environments, these sport fields I am sure are very well received by the community. Again, if you're looking more for a park where you can hang out and chill, this is probably not the place. However, this serves the community well with all these sport fields and I'm sure that the neighbors and community love it. For that I am giving it five stars.
