UPCOMING EVENTS

Marion County, Florida

DOG PARKS

•The Letty Towles Dog Park has 4.5 acres of beautiful fenced inoopen space for dogs to run and play. The park is divided into two sections: one for smaller pooches and one for larger dogs. Your pet(s) will love the concrete tunnels, tack the culver, frolic with other doggies in the splash pad and visit the water stations for a cool lap of water. It is a great location for your dog to show off their socialization skills and for you to become acquainted with other "dog people". Is your dog tiring you out? Just have a seat on one of the benches under the pavilion or cool off under the canopy of large oak trees. The park is open Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 7:00 am to sunset and closed Wednesday and Thursday. For more information, call (352) 368-5517.
