I have a lab, he needs to play in water but I'm terrified of alligators hurting him! Is the pond truly safe?

Definitely no worries about gators. Make sure you bring short records. Great park, good trails for semi private walks as well. Easy station for washing dogs, bring a towel

It's a lake that's on the property that is fenced-in it's about 5 Acres I guess but you need to bring bug spray and a lawn chair and when you check in you leave your leash at the gate at $11 for a day visit and your dogs have to be off leash we went today but there was only 10 dogs so usually Saturday mornings around 10 to 12 is a good time there's a big pond with tennis balls in the middle and you just pick up a ball and throw it the dogs never fight but if they're on a leash they behave differently so there's no leashes allowed and you just have to show your rabies vaccination to get in so there's no wild animals it's all secure and owned as a dog park

Yes the pond is safe! There are harmless turtles that run away from the dogs and I've never seen or even heard of there being an alligator. The park is completely fenced in so there's no way one could get it.

No gators at all, completely fenced in. Definitely not something you want to walk into as the dogs do their business in the pond at times so absolutely get a bath or at least rinse them off before leaving.
