The Thornton Park District is probably one of the most dog-friendly areas in Orlando. From the fur baby friendly restaurant patios, beautiful Lake Eola Park and the pet boutiques, spas and bakeries surrounding every corner it comes as a surprise that an actual dog park hadn't been developed sooner. Well, better late than never! On Thursday, October 13th Thornton Park celebrated the opening of the first Dog Park in Downtown Orlando.
