Barks and Recreation — Attraction in Rockledge

Edited after Hurricane 🌀 Irma

The property didn't suffer greatly but BE AWARE, the huge amount of rainfall caused a big change in the adjacent lake. Flooding expanded the area to double the size. Stirred up the gators too and many of the homes adjacent have septic systems. Keep your animals out of the water. CARRY YOUR PET'S DRINKING WATER WITH YOU. Ground and lake water contamination are still a problem due to the flooding, septic leaching and chemical /fertilizer run off. It will take a while to return to normal but it is still a great place to exercise your dog. REMEMBER to BRING your dog a CLEAN BOWL AND CLEAN WATER TO DRINK until things STABILIZE. END OF EDIT

I like coming to this park with my 1 year old chihuahua. It is close to home and she really likes playing with the other dogs her size. Sometimes I can't use the facility because people keep bringing their big dogs over to the little dog side. It is about the dogs hanging out and playing, not the owners. My dog gets trampled by the big dogs when she tries to play with them. Not to mention what one of those big dogs could do to her in one bite. There are signs posted about the size and weight but I guess some people can't read or they obviously don't care. ...

Nice park for dogs. Beautiful open areas, great lakes for fishing. Most people are friendly or keep to themselves. It has a entertaining playground area for most kids, and also a few fun & educational spots. However be CAUTIOUS if you park in the east side parking on the gravel (closest to fiske, w/out the building and where you are able to cross the nice wooden bridge) as I've been told and somewhat noticeably witnessed events not appropriate for children. But in turn it is more frequent to see police in either...
