What to Expect at Shae Burchfield Memorial Paw Park

The water access is what reviewers mention first. David Howard calls it "The only dog park in st johns that has a water fountain in a pond for the dogs to enjoy." Kabootles agrees it is "a great go to dog park which offers access to fresh water" and brings three dogs there to socialise.

Sarh Max watched the site change, writing, "During my visit last year, this area was still tennis courts, and the construction of the dog park was merely a topic of discussion. The dog park now features three separate, fenced-off areas, one of which includes a fountain and a pond."

The pond splits opinion. Connie Wilder was more cautious: "The retention pond in the large dog area looked pretty sketchy. Didn't want to let my dog get in." She also found it short on shade.

Two details worth knowing before you go. Deborah O'Brien notes there are "Picnic tables but no food allowed inside where the picnic tables were," and Douglas Campbell flags the ground: "The ONLY negative is the amount of sand spotted by several grassy areas."
