Poochie’s Park at 21 Fountain Drive is a privately operated, paid off-leash dog park in Orange Park. Owner-accompanied park visits are separate from the facility’s boarding, day camp, grooming, veterinary and exclusive-rental services. First-time visitors should plan for registration, vaccination review and office check-in before entering.

Find the dog park entrance
Park at the Fountain Drive facility and bring your dog into the main office for first-time check-in unless registration and arrival instructions have already been completed through the customer portal. Staff issue the key fob and show visitors how to reach the off-leash entrance. Keep your dog leashed through the parking and office areas and follow the double-gate transition instructions.

Pond, trails and cleanup
The large swimming pond is a central feature, with a nature trail leading toward additional open space. The small-dog side has its own water-play option according to recent visitors. Bring a towel and clothing that can handle sand, mud and splashing. The operator lists bathing stations at both park entrances, but swimming water should not replace clean drinking water.
Small dogs may use other park areas, but the operator asks handlers to understand the risk of mixing sizes. Choose the area that fits your dog, monitor every interaction and move away from crowded or uncomfortable play before it escalates.
What park goers say
Park goers repeatedly praise the large grounds, swimming pond, nature trail, shade, seating, tennis balls and room for dogs to explore. Recent visitors also mention helpful staff, covered seating, fans or misters and convenient wash areas after swimming.
The same water and sandy ground that make the park fun can leave dogs and people dirty, so a towel and car-seat cover help. Some visitors caution that the park can feel busy, that handlers must supervise group play closely and that the vaccination and neuter requirements may rule out a spontaneous first visit. Confirm eligibility before driving to the facility.
Rules before you enter
The normal limit is three dogs from one household per adult. Keep gates closed, supervise continuously and remove waste. Follow all posted rules for the pond, small-dog side, children and agility equipment. The operator says only dogs may use the pond and dog equipment.
Do not enter before the required records and registration are accepted. Remove your dog if play becomes unsafe or if another dog will not leave it alone. Exclusive private-park rentals have different reservations and amenities, so do not assume rental features are included with an ordinary shared visit.
