    9/24: i love this park! But the porta john has been NASTY since some time now!! And no toilet paper. Please, more MAINTENANCE! Very nice dog park with big trees and water fountain. 2 fenced in areas of good size. There is parking right in front and even a Port-a-John, should you need one. Lots of friendly and fun dogs and nice people! I love this Park! We'll be bark!😉 The second fenced-in area even has a patch of woods! No water here though but a much bigger space than the first one next to parking. I also enjoy the few picknick benches.

    This park is beautiful and really large. There is a paved walking/jogging trail that loops around the whole area. There's a big dog park and lots of wildflowers. Highly recommend checking Wellington Park out 👍

    Lovely small park with well kept walking path. Not much shade for hot days and is near the road, but is perfect for it's location.

    Great wheelchair accessible dog park! The port-i-poty isn't however. So keep that in mind. I recommend the smaller fenced in area. More shade, wheelchair accessible table, water for the dogs, just a better area in my opinion. The larger area is bigger yes but there is no shade, no water for the dogs, and not many benches. It is also rough to get around in with a manual wheelchair.

    Great place to bring your dogs and meet nice folks, have a leisurely stroll or power walk around the paved pathways.

    Clean and quiet. Few dogs running around the park unleashed. Owners need to keep dogs on a leash for the safety of small children. One outside Porta Potty usually this is dirty. Be sure to plan accordingly.

    Beautiful open space. Very well kept and clean. Friendly locals. A great spot to come. Bring the dog or take a nature walk with the family.

    Nice park to do 1.5 mile loop on excellent smooth paved walking track around a dog park and open space.

    A good choice to take your dog. There are two paddocks available. One is larger one is smaller. The smaller one is close to the parking lot and has water available for the dogs. The larger one has parking available at the nearby office buildings, but if you need water for your dogs I recommend bringing water, lugging a bowl over from the small paddock or planning a trip with your dog to the small paddock to get some. The large paddock is nice if you want to walk around with your dog off leash as there is plenty of room. Both also havel little tree patches for lots of different smells for the dogs. Other than the paddocks, there are paved pathways for walks/runs, an adorable sensory garden, and a pavilion with two picnic tables near the small paddock. As for restrooms, there is a porta potty if needed.

    Love to visit dog park. It is my border collie's home dogpark. The city ignores the upkeep. They Ned wood chips on both sides in the worn out areas the way Masterson and Veterans Dog parks operate. There is no public water supply on upper portion, the larger side, behind office buildings, been this way forever. So you should bring a gallon jug of water for your dog unless you wish to utilize the lower, smaller, tree lined area, which is best in summer.

    For the Park not the Dog Park. Ok park for walking around, not much to see other then a historic family cemetery that dates back to the early 1800's, but stupid people have vandalized it so much in the last few years. I have walked around the park a few times as well as rode my bike on it, not sure if your allowed or not.

    This is my go-to dog park. They have two sections for dogs, but don't separate small & large dogs. There are also sidewalks going around the dog park, and a garden with sculptures.

    Great dog park with lots of room. We went for the first time on a Saturday morning and there were lots of friendly dogs.

    Been coming here a while now, nicely fenced in, folks and pups are usually very kind. Only a few times have we run into someone or somepup who misses the memo. Park has water fountains with connected doggie bowl, but these are turned off in the cool months. Lots of shady places to sit, paved walking paths, spare balls to chase. Also, minimal land mines... People are fairly responsible about cleanup! Ole Bernie dog loves to go!

    Love this park and so does Meeko. He’s a shy guy but all the pets here at the dog park and dog moms and dads are so friendly. We also love to walk the trails, right off a main road it’s so nice to have a sliver of wilderness and quiet. It’s clean and has some things to look at.

    A lovely park on Richmond road. It has a wonderful dog park. Two different pastures with rolling hills and woods. Dog bags are provided and there are water fountains.

    Went to the dog park and had lots of fun they have two huge play areas. Only 1 had water the the dogs and an area out side for water. Everyone seems friendly. Dogs will come love on you. Some people don't clean up after their dogs poo so watch your step. They did have dog poo bags there. Will be back.

    This park just keeps getting better! The addition of the new Labyrinth is wonderful. It's the nicest and most accessible one anywhere near Lexington.
