Lake Hiawatha Preserve Park

Beautiful park that blends with the natural surroundings. Two great dog parks, walking trails, bathrooms, pavilion, two docks and kayak launch on Lake Minneola. Awesome playground — it’s not huge, but beautifully designed. I love all the huge live oak trees that offer plenty of shade. Clermont bike trail passes right through and parking is easy to access. We’ll definitely be back!

Super nice park for both people and pets! Walked here several times with my little doxie this past
Winter. Like to walk here whenever I can during our visits to Clermont.

My pup and I visit this park every day to burn off some of his energy. There are 2 sections — one for dogs 25 lbs and under and another for dogs over 25 lbs. I use the section for the larger dogs, so my review is focused on that one and I do not have info on the section for the smaller dogs.
This dog park is beautiful. It’s a large, fenced-​in area with lots of trees for shade, benches, water bowls, a small kiddie pool, and a water fountain (even one for the dog). There are always lots of tennis balls left for pups to play with and 2 posts with pick bag boxes and trash cans. There are «regulars» that are very friendly — both the people and their dogs. And my pup starts whining for play time as soon as we hit the round-​about.
The only thing that prevents me from bumping it to 5 starts is the lack of glass. I’m sure that it can be a challenge to keep grass growing with dogs running around. But it can be very messy after a typical FL rain (yep, my pup loves to find the mud puddles to lay down in!).
All-​in-​all, we’ll keep coming as long as we’re in the area. It really is a great place for the dog!

Very nice fenced in off lead dog park in the middle of Clermont. A Clermont city government facility. Lots of room for the dogs to run and play. There are actually two areas for you to use.

Buddy loved it and it was calm nestled in the wooded area so I can see this is a great place to hang if you are a dog in the summer. There is a hose, small dog pool, dog water fountain, bags and trash cans. There is also a small dog park and large dog park. Beautiful spot just across the lake and it is located in the preserve area. After entering go to the right and plenty of parking. If you enter address into GPS it will say it is by two softball fields — NO, trust me it isn’t because I rode around for twenty minutes trying to find it. But once we found it, well Buddy is having a ball with his new friends and I’m writing this review hopefully to help others find the place and provide some insights.
