Very nice and well maintained park, clean and green. Dont expect any special tributes to Tom Petty other than a sign with his photo at the entrance. Its just a normal park that has been dedicated to him.

Good dog park well maintained and spacious. Did not use other facilities but other recreational sports fields and track. Nice park with well maintained outdoor areas. Friendly neighborhood dog park. Park dedicated in 2019 to Tom Petty Memorial Park due to his childhood spent in Gainesville and in recognition of his outstanding life time contributions in the music industry.

Review of dog park only: I try to take my 65lb catahoula mix here at least once a week to sniff and run around. Its a medium-sized park with lots of grass and a good number of trees. Theres a large dog and a small dog section. Theres also doggy bags, a trash can, and a hose and water fountain ares. The large dog section has some holes, ditches, and low areas that need to be filled in for safety.

Awesome park. Many sports areas to play in. Small and large dog park fenced in for dogs. Though, people put their small dogs in the big pen so be careful about fights. Usually not busy during the day. Peaceful park to walk through, with jungle gym and swings to use when it is opened back to the public (parks closed due to covid now). You can still walk around, play tennis, racquetball, and there are fields for baseball or softball available as well.

It was a nice little dog park, even if we happened to be the only ones there. The murals were great, and the playground seemed pretty nice.

Really love this park. I came across this park 2 years ago and decided to have my babys party here today. It is very quiet and surrounded by a historical neighborhood and has a nice playground.

Ive often walked around the park and used the dog park, havent used the tennis courts or baseball fields but they are often being utilized. The dog park is tops... nice water area, poop bags are always available, balls are often donated. Its just a good community spot!

Awesome field for playing frisbee

Nothing fancy and seems a lot of restrictions for a rock&roll park (no loud rock&roll allowed says the sign.) A few signs designating it the Tom Petty Park, and lots of nice trees. Pleasant enough to stop and rest a while. Kids were playing volleyball and tennis the day I visited but there seems to be limited playground equipment.

Tom Petty park was amazing! Beautiful trees, nice amenities, and of course...... Tom Petty. Great experience!!

We enjoyed the fenced in dog park at Tom Petty. Dogs are given separate areas for large/small breeds. We liked the shade from the trees, benches, drinking water for dogs, and grassy areas of this park. As with every dog park, owners are responsible for their own dogs.

I took my nine month old puppy here today. Shes very shy so I was looking for a place that wouldnt be too overwhelming for her. This was perfect! There was a small dog and large dog area. Water and doggie bags were available too. She really enjoyed herself!

Went to the dog park for the first time since the Corona thing hit and the water was turned off so could only stay for a minute. Too hot mid day for dogs without any h20!There were no signs that were posted...

Love this park. I take my kids to this park because my kids love the merry go round ! Me & my husband play volleyball every Sunday with their volleyball net. Also this park is pet friendly, theres a nice size park for the dogs ! The perfect place to have a birthday party, family gathering, walk your dogs, and just relax & enjoy the beautiful nature! Softball field is nice as well as the indoor tennis area. All around awesome park ! Great for picnics !

Decent size. Small & big dog segregation. Plenty of benches to sit at. Nice watering spot. Playground nearby for kids, so you can bring the whole family! I just dont see very many dogs in the park usually

Most people and dogs are friendly or mind their own business . Some people are very rude though . one girl came into the park but did not let her dog in, so it was just running around outisde the fence . it was attacking an elderly couple that yelled at it to stop and get away . the girl did not do anything about it .

Quaint park for the locals. Lacks a lot of the amenities other parks have though. It can feel a little unsafe at times too. Dog park is where the action is at. Assuming you have dogs....

Really nice and well kept park

Awesome place fot the kids and adults beautiful

Love the sign. Long live the awesome music of Tom Petty.

Love the Dog parks here , great place to take my puppy and let her play with nature

Great place for family. Im an umpire and my first experience was magnificent

This was a great place to bring our dogs for a little off-leash running. It was very safe and secure for my little blind dog. And benches to sit on!

Love this place. Nice location and one of the cleanest parks in town. Me and my grandkids visit here often.

Nice park, clean with ample parking

Very clean with easy parking. I need to come later in the day though so there will be dogs for our girl to play with.

Its close to my house and everyone is so nice.

Tom Petty Park is an amazing park for people and especially for our 4 legged friends. Have met some wonderful people there that are now like family.

I absolutely loved this park. I took my dog all the time for socialization. Now I love it even more just knowing it was dedicated to Tom Petty! Its a very nice park. Has baseball, tennis, racquetball, two areas for the dogs to socialize (1 for smaller dogs and maybe not so socialize and 1 for the larger dogs), a place to have a picnic, a walking path, and playground equipment for kids. What more could you ask for?

Its Tom Petty Park! Enough said.

Good dog park here and lots of activities. Tennis courts, basketball, raquetball.

Not a bad park if you are willing to wrestle homeless people for a park bench

Very peaceful but they do need to pick up trash

Much bigger than it appears from 16th Ave, its got a huge fenced dog park, lots of playground equipment, plenty of open spaces. The ball fields, tennis courts and racquetball courts are well maintained.

I walk my here everyday

Nice low-key place to take the kids and the dogs

Neat park, wish the dog park was a little cooler, but other than that it is a fun place to children and animals alike! :-)

Its Tom Petty park. Speaks for itself and absolutely magnificent history and glad I could see it in person.

Tom Petty fans frequent here for get togethers. Beautiful park! Wasnt crowded & the dog parks are great! Separate play area for big dogs & little dogs.

Cool to see the Park he grew up going to!

Love it! Nice, clean, quite, and they have a fenced area for the dogs.

Nice park, the abundance of squirrels willing to brave the humans for handouts is worth mentioning.

Should have had a plaque to commemorate him.

A nice park with a cool name!

Small simple place, not much to it. Very little signage about Tom. He grew up around it, so it has its own way. Very quiet and relaxed.

Huge park nicely kept and its named after tomorrow petty perfect for any reason to come to a park

Had lunch there with a friend

Nice small urban park, with a fenced area for small and large dogs. Path thru pine trees, play structure for children, and a picnic pavilion. Plans for an Historical Marker are underway after the park was named for Tom Petty in 2018

Love hiking through these woods! There are a few short trails to choose from with mixed terrain. Glenn Springs meets Hogtown Creek here and water levels/quality varies with the rain.

Love the park its peacefully and u can let yr Children play there and they will have a blast

Cool dog park with plenty of trees and benches and a water station. Not as kept up as other parks, but definitely more shade.

Tom Petty deserves a much better park. Not a bad place for some softball or baseball.

Today I got there and there was aggressive dogs in the small and large dog park. I drove 30 minutes to get there. A little disappointing but no big deal I walked around instead

Nice park, could use some follies

I love Tom Petty and I love that we have a great park in his name. He will be missed.

I have enjoyed north east park now, Tom Petty park for years.we have grands now and they love it too

Nice, but very trashy. People cant seem to walk a few feet and put their trash in a can.

It was a great place for kids and it had a dog park ️ will definitely go there again

Nice place to take the family for a day out. Also dogs enclosed area available.

One of my favorite Gainesville parks

Awesome park to take your pets, kids or to walk, run and eat. They have a very nice walking trail and lake. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Very busy and parking is terrible, but worth going to.

Its ok , the park is too hot though it needs more shade

Dog park have low fences. Bigger dogs can easily jump the fence .

Neat little park.

Its a nice park. Were people there cleaning up trash. Some people can be so disrespectful and dump trash instead of walking to trash can

It is a beautiful park, and has a lot of shade for people and animals during the hot times. The surrounding neighborhood is not as safe as other parks in Gainesville, though. I suggest parking behind the park itself, as opposed to in the front lot.

So happy Tom Petty has a park named after him. Gainesvilles #1 son deserves it. Beautiful park.

A few ball fields...some tennis and raquetball courts...a nice little dog area...and a large playground. Plus....its Tom freakin Petty park!

Great name! Another park!

All around great experience, went soley for the dog park. My dog was immediately welcomed by the regulars, and had a blast. All the sports facilities and fields were close by, and well taken care of. It even had art wall from local artist and others near the tennis court, which I found rather interesting and lively.

My children always enjoy themselves

A magical, mystical park that cradles memories beyond measure!!

Huge park, well used by Gainesville folks.

Just a park,but awesome gesture to the late great Tom Petty

Beautiful. Went Veterans Day 9am, not crowded, clean. There were 3 walkers, 3 dogs, a couple doing I believe yoga and what appeared to be their amusing cat.

We enjoyed a lovely walk in the park today and the dog loved all the smells in the fenced large dog area.

Cant believe gainesville doesnt have nicer baseball fields

Oak Hall Schools middle school tennis match. Not much of a view to watch. Good Park to walk around. Has two dog parks. One for small and other large dogs.

I really like this park, it has 2 dog areas 1 for big dogs 1 for small dogs. A walking trail and a softball-baseball field, playground for the kids, picnic tables and grills, just a very nice park

Peaceful and quiet park

Pretty mellow dog park, good size when you consider it doesnt get very busy

This park suffers from the same thing that most of the parks in town suffer from: lack of shade over the playground. Other than that its a fine park. There is plenty of shaded areas around, just not directly over the playground equipment, which means little ones are subject to extreme heat and UV radiation the whole time they are playing. The slides and other climbing stuff can become very hot throughout the day, which really sucks.

Clean, well kept. My dog had a good time.

Nice park! Dog area is plain but they have fresh running water and the owners are always considerate and watchful of their dogs.

Good for kids and family. Is now called Tom Petty Park !

The dogs love it here. Great place for them to have quality outdoor time.

Its a quaint little park and usually isnt too busy.

Nice place to hang out with your kids or a loved one. I eat my lunch there just to get way from work.

Great, clean park! Ran into a police officer patrolling named Leslie! Great conversation :)

Kids love the equipmentAlways good experience here.

Clean park, wasnt very busy on a Friday.

My kids loves this park

Typical park, nothing extravagant

The cook didnt cook my food well, but I ate most of it and paid for it. Even though they wanted to take it off my bill. I would give the clock another chance

Beautiful Park that is very informative on nature and the environment

Its a nice clean and quiet park i love taking my son there

This park has lots of shade, a dog park, tennis courts, racket ball, baseball fields, and more. Its never too crowded like some of the other parks in the area. Its located in a nice area and has unlocked bathrooms.

Nice dog park! People are very good about watching their dogs here.

Nice place.

Nice shaded ducked off park with access to the ball diamond and volley ball net
