"It was a great place to take your dogs when it was first opened. It closed for a while after Hurricane Charley. Once re-opened, it seemed to draw people with bigger dogs that would go after other dogs without much concern from the owners. Now, there is a problem with the homeless hanging around the park, especially at the picnic tables in the gated 'Small Dog' area. I do not feel comfortable taking my dogs there anymore...sad, we waited for a park like this for some time." Note of 12-19-06: According to the Web site of The Animal Welfare League, this park has reopened after being closed due to damage from Hurricane Charley in 2004. 2.
