Pawmosa Dog Park — Attraction in Casselberry

I’m a regular at this park, and I’ve had good experiences with dog- and people-friendliness. My dog plays more at this park than he does at any other park. My dog likes to wrestle and play rough, and I appreciate that people at this park understand the difference between rough play and aggressiveness, so I don’t have to constantly redirect my dog from having fun. I do really struggle with the fact that people openly smoke cigarettes and marijuana in the park. It seems to be something that is just accepted, but second-hand smoke from cigarettes can cause cancer in dogs just like it can in people, and smoking marijuana in public is straight illegal. I find this behavior to be extremely inconsiderate, and if you have a problem with it, this is not the park for you.

People want to complain and play the victim all the time and I hope they’re there next time and try to say my dog was aggressive. I’ll put them in...

The people I met today were all super nice and welcoming, and my dogs got along with everyone really well. Only about ten-twelve dogs were in the large room this morning, and i only noticed one or two in the small run. This park has separate small and large dog runs, and the large one is about the size of a full lot and had plenty of room for more dogs than were there. The large run is mostly mulch based and there's not a lot of spare toys lying around. There is some grass towards the back and exposed dirt patches throughout. All in all, I'd say this is a more manageable affair than Baldwin Park if your dogs are prone to wander or get distracted in large groups, and it's my favorite dog park close to my home, though I haven't checked out a couple other...
