This park, which contains a dog park, is a great place to spend an hour or so with your dog, running around with other dogs. Silver Springs Lake used to be a swimming lake for people. But after its success was limited, the city turned it into a lake for dogs. You can let your dog run around within this fenced off lake and not worry. They can swim, play with other dogs, and with toys that have been left there by other dogs. Overall, this is a great dog park where your dog can roam free with other members of the canine family. Just be careful, you might want to take a shower after coming here if you go onto the beach with your dog barefoot, or stand in the lake.
