Literally the best dog park i have found in homestead. They have swings around the dog park for owners to sit on.There are 2 parks. One for dogs under 35 lbs and one for dogs over 35lbs. I would suggest bringing a bowl for your pet for water as well as poop bags.

Another beautiful park. I met some locals that meet up there regularly and they were SO welcoming! We stayed longer than I usually do at a dog park and talked for awhile.

This dog park would be so great if kids without dogs would stay outside!! I had a lady try to call the park officials on me for having my dog in the dog park because she thought it was a regular park!! It seems that the kids are really attracted to the swinging benches. It’s a deterrent for me because my dog does not like screaming kids at all and I’m tired of having to fight for it. It’s a shame.

The park is nice and clean, just wish they allowed bigger dogs. The dark park section only allows dogs 35lb and under. The play ground is very nice and well kept. The ground at the playground uses turff which is nice and keeps the kids clean.

Great park in the Homestead area. Not only is it a good place to take your kids, but they have an amazing dog park. It has two very large fenced in areas. One for small dogs and one for large dogs. It is a good place to come let your dogs run around without worry of them getting lost.

Review №45

On the small dog park parking area, I wish the area was paved evenly and not uneven surface as it is a trip hazard where people can twist and sprain their ankle. Its usually somewhat empty which is good but I hate when people without dogs take up all the space I side the dog park.

Park has seen a lot of renovation throughout the years. It offers fitness equipment for you to do while out there running. Its relatively safe in the morning and afternoon. Pleasant place to go to and clean as well.

Its absolutely nasty.....!! Brand new park....bottles of beer ,the lawn without trimming....water park without water in summer..??!!....them selfish punks who is on charge of these public facilities should be working with pride....nothing to compare with the parks of doral......maybe because its homestead???....I dont know how whomever got this survey in function.......seems to me like its bureaucracy at its best.......fix that park and give the maintenance it required and stop asking these utopia and ironic questions...... tax at work ....hu???!! Should feel ashamed to be asking for performance that its deplorable..... and mediocre ....NO STARS for selfish punk embedded in the bureaucratic system....!!!

Small park but very well kept. Dogs enjoyed it. It had swinging benches which were cool to swing and hang out.

Review №58

This park has great potential but I did not feel safe visiting here. We came on noon during the week and there were a couple people walking around the park but it was otherwise pretty empty. We walked over to the splash pad which was disappointing since it doesnt turn on until 430pm. There was a young man standing by the splash pad on his phone but watching us. A couple minutes later another young man came up beside us also on his phone but not speaking, almost like he was pretending to be on the phone. We were alone besides these 2 men so we decided to head to the car. On the way to the car a female appeared with a hooded sweatshirt on in the middle of summer also on her phone and catching up to us quickly. All three of these strangers watched us as we got into our car and left. Coincidence or not it made me really uneasy especially with a small child with me.

Beautiful grounds! If I had to guess how long this park was open based on the condition of the playground alone, Id say it was brand-new. Quickly became one of my favorite parks - LOVE that there is turf in the play area.

Great park. There are 2 dog parks, one for small dogs and the other for larger dogs. There is a splash pad for children as well as a playground ( one side is for younger children and the other side is for older kids). There is also a path around the park that has an exercise course.

Review №69

My children loved it and so did I. Separate areas for toddlers and older children. Plenty of shade so the slides were not ridiculously hot. Fenced in properly so you can keep the kiddies safe.

I really like the play area here. Its got two playgrounds for younger/older kids that are both fenced in with only one exit. There is also a water play area that kids can play in and also a very nice dog park. The sidewalk that goes around the whole thing is nice and shady for walking and has exercise machines at regular intervals. There is also plenty of open fields for sports play. I think the only downside to this park is the demographics. I was there recently with my kids and there were several older kids using bad language.

Nice little park. My dogs like the dog park. Not very big but enough room for them to run around and play. Seems maintained well, and rarely crowded.

Review №74

Love bringing the kids and the dog to play. Area is normally always clean. I think my only chief complaint would be all the creeps hanging out with no kids staring at the kids. Leaves me a little unsettled to turn my back.

Cute park with a lot to do, dog park, outdoor track, playground, grassy area, and little splash water area. Parking spaces could be better but overall a good park.

Love this playground artificial grass floor (hate those sand playgrounds). Theres one for the little ones and another for the big kids in the same gated area which is very convenient when you have more than one kid

Nice little place to disconnect from the world for a bit... it also has a dog park which is nice. I can take my little-big furbaby so that he can get some leash-free exercise!

Review №78

The gate is broken between the large and small dog area. The latches to the gates are not safe. There are never any poop bags. The water fountain never works. However, its a very popular park for dogs and kuds, walkers.

Good place for an early morning fitness run. Some equipment has deteriorated and not been replaced. Too bad for the locals.

Review №81

We are just visiting the area for a couple months while my husband works here. We brought our 2 dogs with us, I was worried they wouldnt get any exercise unless we traveled 35 miles up to Miami but then I stumbled upon this park. Its just what we needed, the dogs can run free in a fairly large area depending on their size. There is water and poo bags on site and plenty of places for their owners to hang out and sit in the shade. We will definitely be coming back during our stay. Thanks city of Homestead!

Overall its a nice small play ground for the neighborhood kids. We visit because they have a fenced in Dog Run. Safe place to let my dog run and meet other dogs.

A great place for me to let my dog play, and ive made some really interesting friends here at the Dog Park. Just wish the park employees enforce the park rules i.e no smoking in the dog park, no party in the dog park, etc.

My husband & I were very surprised when we went to the park today. It was unkept, most of the work equipment is gone & not replaced. Water Pad out of service, pending repairs. We hope the City of Homestead make the changes sooner than later.

A sheltered Dog Park

Ed
Review №94

Not liking the homeless people hanging out in the shelter near all the kids. Makes me very unconformable. These guys are new and they bother people unlike the older ones. My wife no longer feels so walking alone anymore. Someone should do something about that.
