Nice & well maintained park. We saw some designated areas like Dog park, excersice area, ample place for joggers , nice concrete pathways for walking , small pond with beautiful sounds of birds we had a good time for some light walk around the pond. Parking places were ample. Will definitely come back to explore other areas. read more

The main loop goes around a lake, then some sports fields, a playground and a dog park, so there's always a lot going on. The dog park there is huge and there are always a ton of dogs out playing. read more

Excellent dog park and excellent playgrounds. Highly recommend plenty of parking bathrooms. Great place to hike bike walk explore.

This is the best park I've ever been to, there is so much to do here! There are 2 parks for kids, a dog park for big/small dogs with splash/swimming area. A workout section, soccer, baseball and a long trail. Places to have picnics and tables to eat. The park is also very clean. read more

Bonnie Wenk Park - Beautiful, shaded, park - Parks Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

A beautiful park in the neighborhood, has everything covered for everyone. Has a stadium, trails for walk and bike, a beautiful pond where you can sit and picnic. A playground for kids which has swings, ziplines, spiderweb, and also a small rock climbing not the typical one though. On the other side they have a gym with instructions on the wall, spacious and is under the roof but opened up! On the other side has a covered stage for performance or an event, really a beautiful park to hang out. We did a small picnic, packed some food and drinks and spent a longtime here. This is a really huge park with ample parking space and can do a bunch of different things. Of all, my most favorite one was the walking path around the pond. Wish it was much closer to home so I could hang out with kids more often. read more

Love this park. I have 3 boys. Lots of fun areas to drop bundles of energy. My dogs loved the dog park. They definitely created this park with family in mind. read more

The new playground area is really clean and I love the soft surface. I noticed there are a couple more playground and bike/walk trails nearby. I'd like to check out the park when the weather is cooler. read more

Love this place. The lake is really a pretty view while walking on the trails and sort of even makes you forget that you're right off of super busy Virginia. The beautiful wooded areas make for great shade when walking on the trail or playing on the playgrounds, which by the way are super cool! The playgrounds are also really good if you have a big age gap between your children. They are recommended for ages 5-12, but I see a lot of 3 and 4 y/o kiddos as well as their parents playing on the equipment and they both seem to be having a blast. They have realistic looking rocks, a small ropes course, and two small zip lines. The restrooms are definitely public restrooms, but they are clean, well lit, and not vandalized. As far as the dog park goes, I think it's a great place to take my dog. There are three fenced-in areas: a smaller one for the smaller dogs, a huge area for the larger dogs, and a "splash pad" for dogs who like water. Most owners pick up their dogs poop and get involved if their dog starts to get too rough, only on a few occasions have I seen this not happen. read more

I love this park! There are so many trails for biking and real running. As a runner I am always looking for distance to run and this is a great place. The dog park is really neat and although I don't have pets I still like to go and see the dogs play which is really close by the trails. The park is expanding and I can't wait to see what's to come. There is a small lake in the park that people can go fishing. Great scenery. Every time I've walked/run at this park everyone is so friendly. The restrooms are always clean which is a plus. Lots of parking and very clean. read more

This past Saturday 9th, in the morning hrs around 11 am, my wife and I took our daughter to play in the "All-Abilities Playground" in the Bonnie Wenk Park Around that time an ice cream trunk parked in the internal parking lot, there was a private event (birthday) and there were lots of kids, I thought "this guy is going to be selling ice cream the whole day!" due yo the amount of kids in the park, but he sold about 10 to 15 ice cream and then the truck left. Anyways, right away when we bought our daughter's ice cream, and after the truck left, we started to get alert from our bank, about a cloned card, we got fraudulent  amounts that exceeded 3 grand. All that happened in matter of minutes with charges in whole different time zones of the country  We hope that none of the other parents got hacked, but there is a feasibility that could had happened. We talked to our bank customer service and they are working on the case. We talked to the park authorities to check the cameras to see if there is a chance to catch the truck car plates, but unfortunately they don't have security cameras at the park, they also informed us that ice cream vendors are not allowed in the park and goes against the city's ordinance, so if you see an ice cream vendor, please either use cash or just don't use the service, because is banned anyways We hope this helps avoiding unpleasant events like these to the park users read more

So much to do, so many playgrounds, good walking or biking trails. Restrooms weren't working! You can't have all that for kids and not a place to go potty! read more

This park is one of the best in the area! A good length trail that's wide enough for strollers, runners, skateboarders, and bicyclists. The trail is cement all the way around. There are some off path areas in the grass that bicyclists have gone through. The dog area is wonderful! A lot of kiddie pools placed under the water fountains so the dogs can drink and splash! Each area is gated separately so you can keep your dog contained in one area. There's a big fenced in area with picnic tables, benches, and a huge running space for the pups. The picnic tables are even placed in the shade! I have seen a few dumb people bring their dog in on leash (that's obviously not a friendly dog) and leave them on leash in the off leash areas, expecting that another dog won't come sniff. Well, they're wrong. That's what dogs do. If you don't have a friendly dog, stick to the trail. The off leash park is for well behaved pups that can get along with the crowd. Overall, this is a wonderful place to unwind. read more

This is a great local park In McKinney! The dog park is quite large with both small and large dog areas. The splash pad and small doggy pool make for an enjoyable experience even in Texas' hot summer weather. Grass would be very nice, but the mulch does an ok job at keeping much of the mud at bay. And you can always rinse your doggos' paws off in the splash pool. There's lot of shaded, heavily trees areas to keep cool and plenty of bench seating for everyone. The overall park consists of over 200 acres of playing fields, running and bike trails, par course activities, ponds, open fields and ample parking. This well planned, well maintained park is a wonderful attraction for McKinney! read more

Great for runs with wooded sceneries. Very clean amd not too crowded. The trails go along the other side of Virginia and the pavements are well maintained for baby strollers. read more

I decided to give this park a second chance after my last review, but I WILL NOT COME BACK. We took our German Shepherd puppy and our 5 year old weenie/terrier mix to the park this last Sunday. Our German Shepherd loves the park and our weenie is a little timid. Well........it all started when we walked into the water section (the front). A pitbull came up to my weenie dog and sniffed him. My weenie dog didn't like it and kinda growled him off. Then, the pitbull attacked my weenie dog!!! I picked him up and the pitbull was lunging at my dog in my arms!! It's OWNER DID NOTHING!!!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! He didn't even apologize for it......that stupid pit is lucky to be alive right now. A friend that takes her dog here also said that a pitbull attacked her dog at this park as well! We're not sure if its the same pitbull but seriously....... So.....we leave the water area to go into the big dog area - me holding my hurt and terrified weenie dog. Then another, different pitbull lunges at our German Shepherd! WTH! That owner yelled at her dog and said oh play nice. Excuse me, if you cannot control your animal TAKE IT HOME!! Dog parks are for social interaction and play time - not to attack other dogs! I will NEVER take my babies here again....I'd rather drive an additional 20 min. It's a nice park but my babies safety it more important. read more

Nice open park with concrete pathway. I wish it had markers so I knew how long to the end or where does it end. Very nice, huge dog park adjacent to this park. This park is great to walk in cooler, overcast weather but I would not want to be here in summer--no tree paths, all concrete. read more

The pups love it here! My dog tries to jump out of the window when we pull up when she's still tethered in the back seat she gets SO. EXCITED. For the dogs, they have a large and small dog section. Flowing water for all but the option to get in and avoid the water altogether. I think the early morning crowd is the best crowd, well behaved dogs that like to play! Only complaints are the people that bring their tiny tiny tiny dogs into the large pen and those with babies or toddlers. Most owners are mindful of picking up poo, keeping the humping at bay, and any bad playing. read more

This is a very nice park. Accommodates dog park and soccer field. Also a new playground. Early morning dog walkers, joggers, and bicyclists. Even witnessed police officers and fire fighters drill practices. Everyone can enjoy the park. The only complaint I have is they did not think to put in dog waste disposable bags anywhere on the walking paths! You see poo everywhere. Sad people don't pick up after their own pets but maybe this would help ?? read more

Very nice dog park. We live in Little Elm, but we drive out here to let our dog, Bella, socialize and play. Love that they don't close down because of rain, and that we can even come out in the evening because the gate is open and lights are on. Bella especially enjoys the water feature, which provides the dogs with a great place to cool down, and then play some more. We've met some very friendly people out here and have enjoyed meeting various types of dogs as well. If you are looking for a great place to take your dogs to burn some energy and improve their social skills, check out Bonnie Wenk Dog Park. read more

So awesome! Brought my past dog there and my now dog. Family friendly and conveniently located. Only had 1 problem with a dog off leash but was resolved quickly with no big problems. Would recommend and will continue going for a long time! read more

Nice park for walking/running. Wide, clear sidewalks except for the occasional pile of dog poo irresponsible owners left behind. Only negative is that there's very little shade around the pond. Only one small section is nicely shaded. read more

Very nice place for a great getaway. I was disappointed that you have to keep your dog on a leash

Took my son fishing here last week. Wasn't expecting to bring up much because of the wind and the cooler temps, but we landed a decent sized large mouth bass. Was not crowded at all. Will come back when the weather is better and see what we can get catch. read more

Very nice paved walking/biking trail that requires no entrance fee or pass to enter. Bathrooms are clean for an unmanned park, and there is a dog park connected (I have never been to the dog park). The path connects up with other bike trails that run through McKinney making the possible ride or walk as long as you want it to be. The immediate paths do get very crowded (especially on weekends when the weather is nice). read more

Beautiful grounds, long trails for you and your dog to walk through. The dog park is large with lots of wood chips and has a fountain area where dogs can drink water or run through the sprinklers. People are generally nice here too! read more

Awesome place for dogs with the friendliest faces for humans! Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. Facilities are top knotch!

Love this place! There is a dog park attached to it that is wonderful. Trail is long and perfect for running or biking. Well maintained and looks like it is really coming together. Needs a volleyball pit and play area for kids and then it gets 5 stars. read more

Great park! Loved the double gate to get in. Then the water was fun for tessa to play in. Will definitely go back. Such a great afternoon.

Very clean and nice park! It also seems very safe. It's well lot at dusk and it's over all an enjoyable park to take kids or have a jog by yourself. read more

It seems like a nice, spacious park. I went there with our lab puppy and two kids. People brought pit bulls both times. Today a pit owner let him run without a leash. It felt very unsafe. The pit managed to jump on my daughter. The owner was apologetic but it didn't make any better. I wish there was a law against pit bulls in dog parks. While I enjoyed the space, I will consider small " play dates ". read more
