Northeast Park & Paw Place

Pup Paradise & Play Areas

Spread across 7.6 acres, this park offers a tail-wagging good time with separate fenced areas for small and large dogs to roam off-leash. The large dog area is genuinely impressive - spacious trails wind through lush foliage and plenty of trees create cool, shady spots for hot days. Meanwhile, the small dog section might be more compact, but it still gives the little guys plenty of room to zoom around safely.

Both areas feature agility equipment (though the big dog section scored most of these toys), water stations to keep your furry friends hydrated, and pet waste stations for the inevitable cleanup duties. You'll discover shaded seating where you can relax while keeping an eye on your four-legged companion. What makes this place special is its forest-like setting - instead of just a boring open field, dogs can explore nature paths, chase the occasional squirrel, and make new furry friends in a more natural environment.

Beyond the Bark: Recreation for Everyone

This isn't just a dog's world - there's plenty for humans too. The park features a children's playground with modern equipment, including toddler-friendly swings. There used to be a popular zip line swing that kids loved, although it appears to be out of commission at the moment.

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the well-maintained basketball courts and the versatile multi-sport rink that works for inline hockey, soccer, or whatever game you're up for. There's also some outdoor fitness equipment if you're looking to squeeze in a workout while Fido socializes.

Finding Your Way Around

Paved walking paths meander within the grounds, fantastic for a casual stroll or a more purposeful power walk. These paths are wheelchair accessible, making the park welcoming for visitors with mobility needs.

The layout thoughtfully balances open sunny areas with extensively shaded sections. The natural canopy of trees is a real blessing on hot Florida days, keeping things comfortable even when the sun is blazing. Northeast Park & Paw Place sits in a convenient location with a modest but adequate parking area - nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

The Practical Stuff

You'll discover restroom facilities around the park that are generally clean, but cleanliness can vary depending on when you visit. Drinking fountains serve both two-legged and four-legged visitors, so no one goes thirsty.

The grounds are typically well-maintained, with park staff regularly tending to the dog areas. The park operates from 7AM to 8PM daily, giving you plenty of daylight hours to enjoy everything it has to offer.
