This is a GREAT place to bring your geopup for some serious
off-leash play! Lots of shade, benches for the bipeds to rest on,
and an unlimited supply of squirrels to chase!
The original contents of the cache include a logsheet, stashnote
and pen, and some small dog related items. Phoenix and Dagger (my
geopups) LOVE to come play here. The people and dogs are friendly
and you can also take your hound for a hike (on leash, of course)
in the rest of the park.
The Gemini Springs Dog Park, 37 Dirksen Dr., DeBary, is a
4.5-acre fenced area of Gemini Springs Park with two sections – one
for small dogs 25 pounds and under and another for large dogs over
25 pounds. The park includes shaded areas, dog wash stations, water
fountains for dogs, benches and picnic tables. The dog park is the
second of its kind in Volusia County (the other is Riviera Dog Park
in Holly Hill).
The Gemini Springs Dog Park is the result of action taken by
Leisure Services after a survey showed strong citizen interest for
more dog parks in Volusia County. Dogs are allowed at all county
parks, but they must be leashed at all times.
Rules of the new dog park include:
The area is for dogs and their handlers, not children.
Puppies must be at least four months old.
Dogs must wear a collar with current rabies and ID tags.
Handlers must carry a leash at all times.
Dogs must be leashed when entering and leaving the park.
Handlers must clean up immediately after their dogs.
Dogs in heat are not allowed.
Dogs showing aggression toward other dogs or people must be
removed.
Handlers are responsible legally for their dogs and injuries
caused by them.
An adult dog handler always must be within view and voice
command of each dog.
