Winter Springs’ Best-Kept Secret: The Hound Ground Dog Park
Tucked away in the heart of Winter Springs is a community favorite you might not know about: The Hound Ground Dog Park, a peaceful, shaded haven where dogs can run, socialize, and cool off while their humans enjoy a bit of relaxation, too.
As your City Commissioner — and a dog lover — I know how important it is to have safe, well-maintained places where our pets can exercise and explore. The Hound Ground checks all the boxes, and then some.
🐕 What Makes The Hound Ground Special?
Two Fenced-In Areas
To keep things safe and enjoyable for pups of all sizes, the park is divided into two sections:
- Small dogs (under 30 lbs)
- Large dogs (over 30 lbs)
Shaded Seating and Picnic Spots
Whether you’re there for a quick romp or a longer stay, you’ll appreciate the shaded benches and picnic tables. It’s a great place to catch up with neighbors while the dogs enjoy their time off-leash.
Fresh Water and Bath Area
A water fountain and dog-washing station are available on-site. Perfect after a good roll in the dirt or a high-energy game of chase!
Park Hours
- Open Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday: From dawn until dusk
- Closed Wednesdays for grounds maintenance — because our pups deserve a clean, safe space
Location and More Info
The Hound Ground is managed by our Parks & Recreation Department and located just off Tuskawilla Road, conveniently accessible to residents across the city.
