Joniesmom, where is Mulberry Park? We saw one TV park up in the northern part last winter, but it was total sand/dirt. Maybe it was a different one? or maybe grass has grown over the summer?

It is just east of Springdale Fitness Trail very close to the huge utility towers and probably 1/4 of a mile up (north) from the fire station/pool.

Nancy Lopez Country Club is within sight to the west.

Paradise Dog Park is the one that still has a lot of dirt but it is a vast improvement from what it looked like about 18 months ago. They redid the parking lot and moved the dog park and repositioned it so you do not have to look out for large vehicles when taking your dog to the dog park. Still have to look out for golf carts though.

My dog loves the area under the trees near the Paradise Dog Park. He does not like the park much.

I have been to Mulberry Dog Park. It is very north in The Villages. It is very nice. It has some shade, the trees are getting bigger. It is a walk though, if you don't have a golf cart. We park at the postal boxes and walk the 1/8th mile to the park. It's a long walk especially if you have dogs that are very anxious to get there.
