Achieva Paw Park — Attraction in Dunedin

First Impression: This place is wonderful. The moment my dogs and I stepped through the gates of this beautiful serene park, my stressometer went from 15 to 5. I was forced to find an alternate park in the area after Enterprise Dog Park closed Jan 17.

There are all sorts of nice doggy amenities and they have really nice poopy bags for the pooches - one of the primary points about the dog park.

I find enterprise dog park to be far better in quality and level of...

The park is very nice and clean. It is well kept and the locations is very nice. There are sweet and kind people that come to the park. My only complaint is that some Dog owners do not know or understand their pets behaviors. You cannot pick Your dog’s friends for them. You cannot control every natural activity that they do. Dogs bark, jump, run, make silly noises, etc. life happens! I appreciate that everyone is attentive and want to keep the park poop free but nobody needs the poop police blowing the whistle every time a dog goes. Other than that it’s just a great place for...
