A lost male pit bull puppy was dropped off at the West Dog Park today. He looks to be about 5 months old. He wasplaced in the "holding pen" until animal services could come and get him. found in the vicinity of Manhatten Ave. around leto High School. Friendly, but flea ridden. Hope somebody finds him!

Best in Town

West Dog park has to be the best in Town as anywhere you will get pet owners who disagree but i find these to be people who dont know the diffrence between playing and aggresion and get upset when dogs get vocal (growl) while ther playing. its not like they can make any other sounds and does not always signal aggression but excitment or trying to get attention. Great people and most pick up after there dogs. but remeber if you dont see them go... and the park is big.

LOVE THIS PARK

We bring our 1 year old lab to this park every weekend. He loves the tubs of water and for the most part the other dog owners are very responsible and the dogs are very friendly. This is a great park and I highly recommend it!

Could be much better

I started taking my dog to this park in Nov 2009, and have been there every weekend since. I have visited several other dog parks and like this one best. There are currently two issues though. The first one is the number of dig holes which could result in a dog breaking its leg if it stepped in one while running. The second is there are some people there who don't clean up after their dog(s). The rest is covered in the other reviews.

Best Park In Tampa for Dogs
5

Ive taken my dogs to all the parks and beaches in tampa, and in my opinion this is the best one. There is tons of room for the dogs to run around. and lots of trees and shaded areas with benches. great for ownersof dogs to keep out of the sun. It is REALLY busy during the weekends, but on weekdays its really nice. people are always friendly for the most part. and most pick up after their dogs. my lab-retriever loves jumping in the tubs of water. ive been going to this park for about 5 years and it winter when we have a cold front its so nice.
and like the last person wrote also my dog LOVES playing in the giant puddle/pond that forms after a heavy rain storm.

Yesterday was our first visit and we will definately be back. The place was well maintained and everyone picked up after their dogs. Who ever designe dthe park did a great job. There are shaded areas as well as places for us humans to sit and chat. I highly recommend this dog park to those looking for someplace to take their buddies.

awesome dog park

the dog park is very well maintained by the county people and its volunteers. most of the regulars are welcoming. good thing about this park is that there is always somebody even on the weekdays so your dog can also have another dog to play with. nice place with nice people and great dogs

Nice park with nice people

This park is located besides the baseball fields and children's play ground. The park is divided in a small and large dog area. Both areas have a good size and good maintenance. Fresh water is available in buckets and water pans or even directly out of a fresh water line to cool of your dog or just give them some fun.
The people are friendly and clean up after the dogs.
The small and large dog areas are big enough to help stay away from dogs who might not get along with your dog what really does not happen often. Most of the visitors are regulars and welcome newcomers friendly.

We will definitely come back here and will recommend it to others.
