The repairs to the large dog park at James F. Holland Memorial Park are nearing completion, and it is scheduled to reopen on Monday, June 26, 2023.
The large dog park has been closed to the public since April 24th, during which City staff has been hard at work re-sodding the park and re-grading the embankment around the lake to improve drainage.
“We strive to maintain high-quality parks for our residents to enjoy,” Parks and Trail Supervisor Michael Kanter said. “We appreciate the patience the community has displayed while we’ve worked to make these improvements.”
The closure has also allowed time for the new grass to grow, providing a safe and fun environment for larger Palm Coast pups to play. The small dog park for dogs under 30 pounds has remained open throughout the repairs.
Throughout the year, shorter periods of scheduled closures will be necessary for preventative maintenance of the dog parks and will be communicated to residents ahead of time. These measures ensure optimal grass and park conditions for all visitors.
Looking ahead, Palm Coast is expanding recreational facilities for dog owners as the Lehigh Trailhead Construction Project will include small and large dog parks in addition to a community garden, restrooms, pavilions, and more.

This is the last place Id take my St Bernard to. U never know what they can catch at a place like this. Cant trust other dog owners to keep up on shots, & disease.

Never will would take our hound to this dump. Everyone is on there own no accountability for shots or illnesses . You think the city is going to care you are dreaming people.

Amazing that the city can spend the money to repair a DOG PARK, for DOGS, but still nothing on water park. The WATER PARK for PEOPLE! I have visited many water parks in Florida and Arizona and they all have soft deck and not one of the parks I have visited has any type of issues like Palm Coast has or did. What a joke!
