Riviera Oaks Dog Park — Attraction in Holly Hill

This is the closest dog park to us so we come here quite often. I always have to bring my dog to the fenced in area right next to the pond because he's a super goofy, extremely friendly Doberman who doesn't realize his size and gets extremely hyper wanting to play with other dogs he goes overboard with it that other dogs get annoyed with him and tend to growl or nip/bite him so I go to the one next to the pond because when I'm here no one is ever over here. He also gets extremely hyper with people and there are a lot of elderly people here and I don't want him knocking anyone over. But since all he wants to do is play and I have to keep him secluded, I'm wondering why they ONLY have the dog toy ramps and all the fun stuff for our playful friends in one fenced in area and not in each fenced area??? It is a dog park if I'm not mistaken. And to top it off there's no one here refilling or checking the dog bags in their dispensers to make sure we have bags to pick up our doggys poop. Always on this side they are EMPTY! Nice big area to run but no bags and no ramps or anything fun for them to do. The barest dog park I've ever been too.always filled with homeless people trying to charge their phones, wash their clothes and hanging out until they dry without a dog!! I go to the secluded area bcuz no one's usually over here most the day on the days I come bcuz my dog doesn't like men very well but it never fails when we leave for lunch and come back there's a smelly homeless person charging his cell phone, half dressed, drinking beer and has all their stuff played out like they live here and I have to chain my dog up...

I used to take my pup to this park all the time when I lived in the area. It's not the prettiest park, but it is pretty big and has separate areas for small dogs, large dogs and another for dogs that need to be kept separate (which I remember was rarely used.) There are lots of trees and squirrels for those pups who love a good chase. There's plenty of seating where everybody congregates and chats with each other at the front in the large dog area, but there's also another area towards the back if you or your pup rather be away from it all. The park is pretty bare as far as grass due to all the shade from the trees, but it's something you just have to deal with. There is a hose for rinsing, if necessary. I also remember there used to be a kiddie pool for the pups to cool down in, though who knows if it's still there.

Great dog park, friends! A true "vacation saver" when you stay at a "pet-friendly" hotel...that has no place for pets to go out! How is that even a thing, ya'll?!? But this place.... wonderful. Clean, lots of space, designated sections for larger or smaller pets, restrooms for parents, and lots of places to sit inside the park. Sanitation stations throughout and toys for pups to enjoy. Bonus.... it's only about 12 minutes from Ormond-by-the-sea. Thankfully, we found a small patch of grass across the street from the hotel to take our buddy out quickly, but this park ended up being a highlight for him to enjoy his vacation as well. Oh.... and (as if I haven't covered enough yet) there's a walking track and...
