Very nice but small park. It have amazing sun and moon set. It have a picnic tables and the shoulders if you like to have lunch with your family. It also have a boat ramp and Ice machine.

Dog lovers dream! This beautiful park has a dog park, a dog washing station, and a doggy beach. Its a great way to spend some time with your four legged best friend.

Stays pretty swampy most of the time because it takes a few days to dry up from rain. Homless people chilling around but seem to keep to themselves. Not highly recommended but there is usually a lot of dogs by the water and my boys love it for that. (Has a gated area for dogs to play too) So dog friendly, two playgrounds but both are kinda meh.. Fort Walton parks kind of suck in general tbh this is my favorite one in the city though.

We took our young Labradoodle for a chance to play on a beach. We misread the description thinking there was 1,000 feet of beach and there is not. 100 feet of the 1,000 feet of waterfront is beach. Prior comments mentioning aggressive dogs not on leash is true on the small beach area. It appears that the locals claim this place as there own. Even when we asked very nicely that a dog owner keep her dog (unleashed and growling) away from ours (leashed and quiet),the owner kept slinging their toy very near us. We tried a second day only to have a local and his two unleashed dogs claim the entire area for at least two hours. The city has a great opportunity here if they could extend the beach and enforce their leash laws.

Two totally separate sizable playgrounds!! So much to do. Lots of nice green space and some really nice covered pavilions as well. My kids had a great time and would have stayed longer!

This has been a favorite place since I was a kid to visit or to just sit and read or write or enjoy the air and earth and sea at the same time definitely worth a stop if your in the area although some of the public utilities could use some TLC its definitely one of my favorite stops

The West playground is newer and bigger but has zero shade. Theres also a large open space area all around it to run around. The East playground is not as large and does not have a very big area around it, but is at least half shaded most of the day. The East playground is right next to the dog park and a large picnic pavilion that a fair number of people seem to hang out at each day. Both playgrounds have sand floors.

Great views of the water and a great dog park! Beau had a great time!

Great park for kids and pets alike! Very clean and well kept.

Very nice dog park with a dog beach and wash station to get the salt water off your pup. I love this dog park and so does my fur babies

Old park needs updated still good to fish and join family and friends....

Its a extremely small but a nice area for your dog to meet dogs and play in the sand and water.

It was just so very peaceful and calm and I enjoyed my time there

Best dog park around! When the Florida summer hits and your fur babies cant deal with the heat, bring them here and let them swim their worries away.

Great place. Me and my dogs loved this place. They had there own beach.

Really like the dog areas, the open set up, close to water, wonderful dog wash area. Wish they would get the beach area fixed and pier back.

Nice place for dogs but people with aggressive dogs let their dogs run and its a hazard to people and well behaved dogs.

Not a bad little place to go catch your breath and take a walk

Great park for outdoor fun with the family. Situated on the sound next to the Gulf of Mexico, the park has a small pier to fish from, a boat ramp, several large pavilions with tables, playground for the kiddos, and includes a public restroom.

Free park to visit with decent parking available. Good place to stretch your legs and there is a playground for kids.Dog park is next door if that helps. Its free as well with fresh water access.

Due to Covid-19 we get take out from local restaurants and eat in the car. When we are finished we walk our Yorkie around the park. Its usually not crowded and we all get our exercise. Theres usually a nice breeze!

Beautiful beach the kids had a blast catching bait fish and shrimp water was clear aqua blue so much fun. Just watch out for the stickers put your shoes or flipflops on until you get to the sand..

Kids enjoyed the playground some seating near it for the parents to stay close would be nice.

My G Loves It 3 hours a day spent on that damn swing

Beautifully kept, waterfront park located on the intracoastal waterway. Separate play areas for kids and dogs. Boat launch, fishing pier, grills, pavilions, water fountains, restrooms.

Great park for kids and dogs. Plenty for both to do as there are multiple dog and kid parks. Great way to get outside and enjoy yourselves

Nice place to bring your family and dog. Picnic shelters, walking path, childrens play area. Informational signs on flora and fauna.

Plenty of pavilions, a great play area for children, two dog parks, and a great view. Just dont go swimming!

Holds water.. There was a canon in park wouldve been good if we knew a lol history of it.

Fenced dog runs, covered pavilion with picnicking tables and an AWESOME doggy beach. The beach is not huge, but its nice and shallow so you can walk out in the water and cool off with the dogs. All friendly dogs and people when we were there. Our dogs loved it!!

A quaint little park; great for a break from the business of town. The perfect place to pack a lunch or go on a small stroll. The pavilion areas arent always the cleanest, but the rest is fantastic

A beautiful park! Dog friendly and water access. This park is always very clean. A good place to go and just watch the water or walk around and relax. I come here at least once a week for a reason!

PLEASE monitor off leash rules. We enjoyed what this park offers IF rules were followed. We drove 45 minutes to this location since its the only beach area thats dog friendly close to where we are staying. We are vacationing from Georgia, so the beach is not near us in our state. We brought 2/3 dogs with us and kept them on leash as the signs say. We felt that this was a good idea because we promised ourselves to let the dogs have a beach experience. They had fun, but the fact people can have off leash dogs really escalated our feelings to leave because our dogs werent comfortable with that. The first dog owner was super nice, but did not put his dog on a leash when we came down. This dog was respectful to give our dog space though. When my dog was uncomfortable we tried distancing to calm any tension that he may have felt with a dog running around while he is unable to because of the leash. When we were slowly getting ready to leave and another dog was off leash (all of this at the unfenced beach area) and this second off leash dog was NOT able to be called by the owner. It got in my dogs face a couple times to smell him, but we left because we ultimately accomplished our goal of giving the dogs a chance at a beach area. The uneasy feeling of others not following rules was sad because if they were on leash I couldve been able to slowly introduce our pups and this wouldve been hopefully not as upsetting of a trip that we drove 45 minutes to have less than 10 minutes of enjoyment. This ultimately was an awesome option if your dogs are ok with random dogs running up and youre ok with unknown dogs off leash. We unfortunately didnt anticipate this to be an issue since most dog parks have someone to monitor. This park shouldnt have a leashing rule if its not followed NOR enforced. It ruins the accessibility for others. There are two different fenced in areas that I believe it is acceptable to have them off leash, but for the unfenced area it would be best to keep on a leash for instances like ours.

One of the only places dogs are allowed. Not a fan of how muddy the large dog park is

Good location and view. Looked well maintained.

Beautiful scenery, relaxing parkNot crowded.

Its got a lot of damage. Fishing pier destroyed. Lots of debris. Boat ramp not safe at this time

Great dog park.. dog loves the beach and play area

Great place to take take any size dog.

Great dog park with access to the Sound for swimming.

Most always so peaceful and relaxing.

Plenty of space for kids to run wild at the park, boat ramps on the intercostal waterway, big pavilions with outdoor grills, very clean also has a nice little fish pier

This is a nice park tucked away in Fort Walton Beach. It is far enough from the road to not feel like a roadside park. There is a walkway that leads down to the water. And it’s a nice area set aside to bring your dog. Or if you just want to go and watch the dogs play, that’s fine too.

This is a great local park. There are nice places to walk, look at the water, kids can play and a great dog park with a beach.

Very nice park right off the main strip. Theres a dog park and a nice playground for children, as well as many sidewalks and piers to walk on. There are bathrooms here, but they are pretty run down

Beautiful park where you can see the water and fish or simply hang out and enjoy nature.

Seemed to be a nice park for the community by the water!

Nice place to walk if no recent rain, otherwise mostly under water.

Spacious park along the water. Two entertaining playgrounds. Bathrooms. Dog park. Covered pavilions.

My GPS keeps telling me ive been at these place never have.

We had fun with friends and family! A loved one was lost and we gave her a birthday party in her favorite park!

Dog park.Kids can play as well.Take your own food.

Brought our own grill other reviews suggest there is an area to grill but there is not.

My only complaint is the swings are reeeeally squeaky.

Nice little park with a good view of the bay.

Came on vacation from the Boston area and couldnt be happier to have found this dog park. Big running area for dogs. The dog beach is the biggest bonus, kylo swam for hours. The whole place was kept fairly clean as well. Safe to say this park was a favorite for my dogs.

Good public park with the bay on one side and a little stream in the middle. The dog park is kinda small. Lots of critters around the stream. Its a well used park.

Beautiful Day

My kids love playing at the park and in the water.. we also have birthday partys there

Nice place for children

Not a bad place physically and visually. Many homeless.

Walk here every day! Great views

We take our large dog there. He loves it and plays with a ton of other dogs. Very clean

Nice view, good atmosphere.

LJP so pieceful full of life, friendly people,beautiful place

A bit stinky, you can smell the dogs urine.

Great the dog park is good i recommend

Great place for family fun! Easy & free boat launch. Nice area. Visit every vacation to FL

We recently moved to the area and have a 5 month old puppy of a large breed so he has lots of energy. This dog park/beach is the best one within all the cities around. I call it his Disney he loves it. It has a nice size small and large dog area. Lots of bags and water dispensers. Have met lots of nice people and sweet dogs. Never had an issue with aggressive dogs and we go 5 times a week sometimes more. The beach access is the best, is the perfect pocket for pups. Secluded enough for them to not run away too far and clean. I couldnt recommend this park more. Absolutely love it!

Its a nice place to bring your pet or family.

Good playgrounds, lots to do. Public bathrooms. Boat ramp. Dock. Waterfront. Near downtown. It’s a fun place.

We always go here to launch our boat, always clean.

Liza Jackson has plenty of equipment for the children to play on. Its not too crowded where the kids are bumping into each all the time. It also has a picnic area.

Great just wish that the state would turn on the light at the boat launch.

Good place to chase squirrels. If the dog/s are able to respond off leash then there is beach access available!

I love taking my dog are there during the week. Weekends the traffic is little too congested

Good times. Great park. Charging outlets pavilions. Bathrooms. Dog park

Looks like a nice place to launch your boat or relax in the park

We had a great time! Sun shining, hermit crabs, dogs playing in the water, my son splashing with a strangers pup, even found 2 blue crabs! Throw in a couple of really nice playgrounds, and 2 of the people you love the most... dont think out can get much better. Have an awesome day, remember God loves us all, even a sinner like me!

Love going here and walking and Bird watching. Boat Ramp. Dog Park. Children’s playground, restrooms, picnic tables, and they do have different types of events here, like Dog Daze! Where everyone brought the dogs out and was greeted by Local Pet Supply Need Professionals!

Nice covered pavilion & free boat ramp.

This is a GREAT local park. It is very well maintained. I love to take the kids here.

Nice T dock with a metal bench, nice spot to fish, take dogs or just a nice park to eat or walk at . Playground for kids & a boat ramp for small boats only

Lots of residents who seem to be enjoying their stay.

I love going to that park. Just so beautiful and amazing. I love to just sit on a bench and dog and people watch. The kids at the playground are adorable. Just to sit and do my word puzzles is great. And its not far from my house.

Great area to have fun with the family

Love this park. My kids like to chase the dogs around.

Its beautiful but the dock needs fixing and the mans bathroom stall you can see from the parking lot

Great Park, great facilities and free boar launch

Playgrounds are big and will kept. Dog park is real nice. My dog absolutely loved it!

Good environment. Dog friendly. As well as good family environment right on the bay. Puppy had a good time and so did we.

Would be a good park except for all the water standing. Nice park for your dog.

Clean, well kept family park with a very nice dog beach and play areas for your canine BFFS

Great experience, went to a gender reveal.

Fun place, not really packed with people, good fishing, nice play area for kids and adults, very big area, occasional drunk, but friendly still lol, Ive visited before and will continue to do so.

Such a tranquil place, especially at sunset. Always, birds, ducks eager for a few bread crumbs. Very nice boat ramp, covered picnic areas, playground for the kids. Love Liza Jackson Park!

Plenty parking spaces. Clean and friendly areas. Dogs have enough space to run and play

Clean park and nice place to chill in the evening.

My daughter loves this dog park . Very clean

Nice Park for the family, walking paths for walking, doggie park. Boat ramp.awesome place to watch the sunrise and sunset.
