An absolute gem. Plenty of ramps, art and supportive peeps for any rolling enthusiast. Skates, skateboards, scooters and bikes. Nearby art displays, dog park, playground, open area and convenience stores can make this a full day.

While known for the popular skate park, Possum Creek Park also has a nice size dog park (though there is a lot of bare dirt on the big dog side), kids playground, and grassy open area surrounded by a paved walking trail. Very popular at certain times of the day. I usually visit so my dog can play and socialize at the dog park.

I live approx 45 miles from Gainesville and had never heard of this park. I met my friend there for a homemade brunch and was delighted! Beautiful grounds with a couple canopied picnic tables, with a larger hard structure pavilion with tables. We sat atop the hill near the concrete, skateboard area for kids to hone their skills for trick skating. A BEAUTIFUL breeze with our location. Their dog park was visible on the other side of a fence. Very easy parking, as well as easy to find. A sweet picnic spot.

I love bringing Leo here. He really enjoys the other dogs. Most are well-behaved, people too.However on this occasion, they were out of the poop bags on the large dog side, so there was more than usual amount of poo to be avoided when walking.

Spot is burly its real skateboarding. its not glass smooth though. it seems like its always open, but NO LIGHTS. very cheerful park, bathrooms clean.

Nice big open area. Took the dogs here to run after a long car ride! Had water and everything for them!

Clean beautiful park! I love this place more than any other park Ive been. If you go down the trail in the back it takes you to a giant field. Perfect for picnic.

The babies love to splash around and play!

Its fine. Grass is well kept. I just wish the dog park wasnt so sandy. Dogs leaving are always filthy. But its safe and other than the actual dog part, its well kept.

Great place and friendly dog owners were there. Lots of room for our German Shepherd. Lots of balls and frisbees there.

Dear City of Gainesville, I teach kids how to skateboard at this fine facility that attracts people from all over.. As a parent and skateboarder, I think the city should repair the damage that they caused when the decision was made to drive dump trucks onto the ramps and dump mulch toward the beginning of this pandemic. I think yall owe it to the community at this point to, at minimum, repair the damage. However, adding more shade and possibly some lights would be very much appreciated. People have been requesting these things for quite some time. Would be five stars... Thanks for your consideration.

Great place to stop and eat lunch for those of us that our car is our office. The youngsters enjoying the skate park can bring back memories for us older folks.

Very nice place to bring your dog, big or small they have separate places for big and small dogs at the dog park. The fence could be a little higher between the big dog and the small dog oh, my dog is just a big puppy but he is a big dog and he was able to jump over the fence. He is only 6 months old. Other than that, just an awesome place, I do wish they would fill in the mud puddle and the mud hole, my dog is a lab and that is the first thing that he went for and got all muddy!

Very nice set up. Would have gotten 5 stars, but there are huge deep puddles with the rain. Bring a towel for your dog, theyll love the park!

Nice short walking trails. Great dog park areas with separate spaces for small and big dogs. Playground, restrooms, skatepark, and sports field.

Excellent park! Fun for the whole family, and the best dog park around! Very clean and well kept.

Its a cute little dog park, big dog little dog separated areas. Just not enough things for the dogs to do. I think itd be great if there was a water feature or something that the dogs could play in. Also feels a bit small. Staying for an hour seems like a bit of a stretch.

Possom Creek Park is a grear park to visit. Great to take your dog and walk the park. Will continue going there

This park has something for everyone, the only thing it is missing is disc golf.

Beautiful park. I just moved to the area with my son and I wanted to check out the skate park before bringing him. I was very impressed with how well the grounds were kept and how neat everything was. The park is huge and expansive. I will definitely be coming back here. My son absolutely loved it. Much bigger than the skate park back home.

The Skate Park looks nice. The semi paved loop that goes around the park is breaking up and has moss growing on it where I fell. It is not Wheelchair friendly at all. The path is too narrow and is a high liabilty.

The park is beautiful, the dog park area is big. Lots of room to roam but no running water or kiddie pools as mentioned in the description which is why I chose this park to bring my dog. I am new to the area so I m not familiar with anything yet

Dog park is nothing special. Kids park was closed and the skate park is nice, little small but great to skate around when theres not 50 kids running around

Its really a very very nice place to spend some time out. I go there with my family and enjoy the walking areas, the beautiful view. There are many nice spots to spend a relaxing time and even do some yoga . Its the perfect place to do some reading while breathing fresh air. I enjoyed watching kids playing happily in the wonderful playing areas, even the dogs were having fun. Some where board-skating and others where biking. I really recommend this place for everyone.

My dogs always have a great time. Happened to be flooded this time but the dogs love it. Still no seats

Really nice place to bring your four legged members of the family. Fenced areas for small and large dogs. Could use more benches

Nice park for free. Looking forward to skating it. Bowl looks mellow and fun to be had in.

Excellent dog park. Highly recommended !

Love meeting friends there for lunch. We bring our own and socially distance.

Hung out in the picnic area with family with birthday coffee. It was alright. Nothing super amazing but Id go again. Theres a small playground near the picnic tables. Plenty of grass space for B.Y.O. Chairs and chill. And theres a skate park across the way. AND further down from skate park is a gated dog area that is split into two sides (big dog/little dog), I like all the dogs, sometimes the people are strange (ie. if I take my medium size dog to the big side, dont bring your little dog over to the big side... thats dumb, dont be dumb). I still remember when all of this was just grass, I liked that, too. It was great for getting away. But all this stuff makes more people than just me happy, sooooo I guess thats a good thing, too. Ha!

Nice park with a side for large dogs and a side for smaller dogs! Water is available in case Fido gets thirsty or needs to cool off!

Nice fenced dog park with large and small areas.The large dog area is probably about half covered in sand and is continuing to expand which is why I give it 4 stars. I wish the park could address this somehow. Hoses and poop bags are present in both areas.Nice walking path around the park with some wooded trails in the northern part that lead to large open grassy field where we have seen many deer

Great park, always has a good amount of dogs

The dog park is part of Possum Creek Park. There are dog fountains and bags to pick up your animals feces. All dogs must be vacinated for rabies and wear their tags on their collars. There is a small dog area and a larger dog area but beware when dogs get into a new pack there is always competition for them to become the Alpha so be prepared to break up fights for dominance.

Great dog park

Great park! Well taken care of!

Beautiful place to walk your dog, except there is TOO MUCH MULCH.

Well kept, good community!

Good functional dog park with plenty of space for pups to run. Good sand pit for digging, plus lots of nice people and fun pups.

One of the best skate parks youll ever find. Great atmosphere and eco friendly

The park was nice. Heat unbearable

Great place had a great time lots of fun and a safe place and clean place

Its great when people control their dogs if they get too excited. But the people who dont care about what their dogs do ruin it.

The benches need to be moved from the entrance. Most dogs stay close to their ownersEvery dog that comes in must go through a gauntlet of dogs just to get inside. Move the benches to the opposite side and all dogs will move around more.

Took the kids out to fly our drone. Nice big open field. Great skate park and dog park.

Great skate park and has plenty of paths for people to walk on.

Nice skate park and regular park.

Bodacious - as usual. Really friendly and mostly considerate dog owners. Great way to get a walk and some fresh air.

Good park, not much shade on hot days inside the dog park, but nice walking trails. There are kiddie pools and hoses for the dogs, as well as toys and balls. The large dog side has a low area that gets very muddy when it rains, so if tour dog likes to roll.in the mud it might be an issue. There are usually not a lot of dogs there, especially on the little dog side, so some people bring their big dogs on that side when there are no little dogs, to avoid the mud. The big dog also has some areas where dogs have tried digging their way out, and smaller dogs may be able to squeeze through. Lots of running space.

Lots of wide open space. A dog park. Fairly decent play set for kids. Highlight of the park is the concrete skate park. One the few places in town left where you can skateboard, Rollerblade, BMX for free.

I used to love going to This dog park to play with my dog. It had watering stations and swimming pools all around the park and toys thrown all around the park for the puppies to play with we had an amazing time each and every time we went it is very friendly!

Great place to bring the doggos to enjoy some time outside.

Nice dog park thats really active, and its part of the larger Possum Creek Park, which is great. There are separate sections for large and small dogs, and there is a water hose. Only issue is that the large dog park is probably 85% sand, so a trip to this park guarantees the need for a bath. Small dog park is only 10% or less sand, so not as big of a deal.

Playground, skate park, large/small dog park... nice wide open spaces and urban hiking trail

Wonderful, beautiful and clean place Unfortunately, there is no lighting at night

I take my dog to the dog park every time we are in Gainesville. Have 2 different fenced in areas. One for small and one for large dogs. Clean. They have lil pools for the pups to cool off

I gave 2 kids a gallon of water.

Green space and play ground very well maintained. Kids had a great time.

It was to-day google!Love Possum Creek..., when I go for fin. Today I had a flat tire and pulled in, off 53rd, to change and get home. Timing is everything; right place, right time.

This place is awesome! It has a skate park area that is decent size, a playground area and a huge fenced in dog park area. Small and large dogs are separated. There is water for the dogs and when it rains there is a huge puddle that forms in the middle of the large dog area. Benches and shade for the humans. DEF worth the visit.

Always well kept with lots of options for all ages. Nature trails, playground, skate park, dog park and grassy fields for sports.

Great park in Northwest Gainesville. It is kept clean and has a small area for parties on a first come first serve basis.

A great family dog park should have many more just like it, awesome

Nice park. Appears to be relatively new & well maintained. My girls loved it. Too far from watching skaters but we enjoyed the time & atmosphere

Took my daughter there to practice on her skateboard and turns out there was tournament going on. It was great to see the turnout of people.

Good place to relax

Lots of wide open space in this city of trees. A great place to go fly your drone.

Nice open space for dogs to run, separate areas for big and small dogs, but lots of sand.

My dog Roscoe n I had a blast throwing his ball around.. Lots of open area for him m to run n play.. nice place

Come here all the time. Theres a track you can walk for exercising, and theres another through the woods trail that my dogs just love. Additionally, there are two fenced areas you can just let your dogs play and be free without a leash.

My dog loves it here!

Stopped here on our way back to Tennessee from Tampa. Great little park in a great area. Half sand half grass which our dogs liked. Very spacious and everyone was friendly. Great spot to let the dogs run some energy out thats convenient from 75

I walk here every Sunday morning and pray. I have found it to be a convenient and quite place to be by myself and worship God.

This place is close to home. The skate park, Im alright with. I maybe a bit old for it though, regardless I got into long boarding first anyways. #college days... The dog park is quite nice too. Im curious about that water feature in the back? Itd be neat if there was a trail around. Though be warned- there are mosquitoes and they do bite, a friend of mine was bit up by them...

I brought my 8 year old here with his scooter he really enjoyed it. Park was very clean

Good fun for the pups

Nice place to run through in the middle of the night searching for adult beverages in the woods

Best place to take your dog in Gainesville for a little exercise! I always meet really friendly people here too :)

Great place to bring your family - Possum Creek has a playground for the kids, a skate park, a large field for team sports or drone flying, and a dog park (for large and small dogs). The dog park is set up nicely, is well maintained and offers a water bowl and kiddie pool for your fur babies to splash around in. Warning: bring a towel or blanket for the car ride back if your dog likes water and mud!

Possum is a nice park. The nature around the park compliments the atmosphere along with the dog parks. The people there are welcoming, etc.

This is where my daughter self taught herself to skate board

Great little neighborhood park with something for everyone! Walking trail, shaded playground with picnic pavilion, enclosed dog park, skate park and weekly team soccer.

Great playground. Great for birthdays. Nice location.

Separate parks for small and large dogs. Any pup is welcome, with no breed restrictions, so long as he/she is a good doggo. Be careful after the rain because the big dog side will be wet, and so will your pup! Trails through the woods for a pre- or post-play walk. Owners tend to be attentive and cooperative. Great place for happy puppos.

It is a very nice place to take your dogs and it even has a area for the kids to play a skateboard area as well. Very well kept park me and my friend and kids go there we love it, only park I know of where the dog have it owns part to run around with no leash

Playground,huge field and skate park. The open field is huge great for kites or sports like football or soccer or even kickball...mostly flat. The playground can appeal to kids from 4-12 safely... younger kids can still have fun if a parent helps climb the stuff around the park.

Great playground for the grandkids and we love the dog park for our fur-baby. Close and convenient to our daughters house, so we come here often. Very well maintained. Every one we meet is friendly.

Love that it has a trail, it needs some repair and update but its nice to walk around and have kids play at the park. The kids love to watch the dogs at the park

Still the only Free dog park in Gainesville FL worth going to. And definitely take your two legged kids along. There is a lot there for them as well. The only suggestion I have for them is to set aside an area for agility training. That would give them six stars.

Great park with playground, walking trail, dog park, and skate park. I wish it had a basketball court but I understand every park cannot have one.

Complete family park. park included. Great skate area. Fun for entire family. Clean and well kept. Bathrooms. Trails.

Small sign to indicate park. NOT handicapped accessible. No sidewalks from parking lot to dog park area. No trash cans in the enclosed area.

Nicely shaded but make sure your kids wear sneakers, the mulch is the wood chip type.

Bring your kids here to have fun

Great park for intermediate to advanced skaters.

Perfectly shady and restrroms and shelter adjacent to the park. Great for lil ones potty training and hosting bday parties

This park supplies visitors with the opportunity to take their dogs out to play. Other dogs are often there, with two sections: one for large dogs and one for small dogs.

Had the park to ourselves on a cold weekend. Parked at the Argonne Forest lot. Used the pit toilets, read the sad history of the place, and hiked the trails. Be sure to take the map with you, as we found the trails to be very poorly marked. The connector trails arent marked at all, and there is no distance or destination posted anywhere so you need good map reading skills or GPS. Check out the talking trees and the skeletons of street cars abandoned long ago. Startled an entire herd of deer when we reemerged from the forest.

This place is ok. When I went there, it looked like the Gainesville antifa were practicing with medieval weapons on the soccer field, which just resembled a bunch of people who cant play real sports swinging axes and staffs in slow motion and not coming close to each other. The real beauty of this park is the skate park, the dog park, and the woods with a few trails leading to a giant hilly (for Florida) meadow where you can let your dog run free and toss the frisbee. I have never gravitated to the foolishness of the Gainesville hippy/never Never never land hipster yipster culture that infested the soccer field that day. I did see a Dad playing catch with his son, which was inspiring in the midst of the commie trash that abounded on this beautiful Saturday. The park is nice, and everyone is welcome.

New puppy loved it. Glad to see someone donated tennis balls. Everyone had something to play with.
