Downey Park

Small-dog space and a handy time-out area.

Downey is an east-Orlando option on Flowers Avenue. The county specifically identifies a small-dog section and a time-out area here, useful features when a dog needs a quieter introduction. The broader park also has courts and a playground, so use the designated enclosure for off-leash play.
