On December 8th 2003 the Winter Springs Commission approved the temporary PawPark on the Wincey property next to Central Winds Park. This location will cease operations on September 30th 2007. However, this should give Winter Springs, Oviedo, and Seminole County ample time to identify and construct a Permanent Facility hopefully near the Black Hammock Trail Head.
The city wants to make it abundantly clear that this is a TEMPORARY site only. Please view the Letter from the City Manager and the Memorandum of Understanding for more detail.
This is a major victory for dog owners in the Winter Springs/Oviedo area! Thanks to the forward thinking of the Winter Springs Commission, we have a reason to "flip for joy". We will continue to work with the City to make the temporary facility both safe and popular while increasing support for a more permanent park in the future.
Plans have already begun on development of a Grand Opening Day Celebration and other fun/fundraising activities to help support the facility. If you would like to be part of this or any other events please contact us.
