    "people have a really hard time complying to the leash law here, all breeds all sizes doesn't matter, you see quite a few dogs unleashed even with their owners. Dogs barking is something that I don't think you can escape in the city of Gainesville & suburbs, kind of like the train. one perk of the Northside of Gainesville is the XXL dog park at Laurel Park!
