On the small side there is gazebo and a little bench. I didn't see anywhere to sit on the large side. The only real downside to this park is there is no real shade, so perfect for fall and spring weather but maybe not the best dog park for summer. Overall, a great dog park!

There were plenty of benches and seats for the pet parents to spread out. This day it was German Shepard day...there were about 8 of them including a gorgeous pair of white Swedish Shepard's. Being only the second time for Magic and myself in any dog park, we were both a little nervous. When the other dogs came to investigate, she stayed under my legs or under the picnic table I sat at while the other dogs lapped and played. It was a bit muddy in some areas as it had rained continually for a few days before. They have added wood chips that has helped according to other dog parents. After about half half an hour, Magic became bold and went to investigate other pet parents first, then began to play with the other dogs. There was a massive pit bull who was playing like a giant puppy with Magic and a couple other much smaller dogs. All in all I was VERY impressed with the dogs and their parents...some who brought water for ALL the dogs to share as the water is still off. There were also plenty of toys, balls and sticks for sharing. I'll definitively bring Magic back.

My pup and I went for a drive, we decided to stop by this park, that we saw a sign for. It just had…read morean arrow and the words "dog park". Without this sign I would never know there was a dog park in this area. This location is a bit strange. This is located behind a school. Well, the school is no longer active. St. Brigid St. Augustine Partnership School has been closed for almost five years. The rear of the former school has a nice sized dog park. It is fenced with the rules posted on the outside of the fence. The rules are pretty standard. My pup and I were the only ones here. The park is divided into two parks, one is for little dogs, which is where we were and the other is for larger dogs. Jude had such a fun time running around, and of course sniffing every single corner. There are a lot of wood chips all over the park, which undeniably ended up all over Jude's hair, and eventually all over my car. There was a bench which I sat at, and he came under, once he was ready for some shade. The West Hartford Dog Park is a nice park to let your dog run around and play.

Love this place! Perfect spot for my doggo to get her energy out and play with other dog friends.read more

It has its own parking lot, and has separate areas going uphill. I hear the main area is a bit of a hike beyond the trees, which is supported by the presence of steps. The larger park has an ongoing Frisbee game, picnic tables, fire stoves, pavilions... If your people like the outdoors you could easily spend a summer here.

The dog park was gigantic and needless to say the nicest I've been to in Connecticut so far. There's tons of room for dogs to run, lots of friendly people and friendly dogs for the most part. My girl had so much fun running around with the dogs and made some dog friends. The park was clean and peaceful, running water for the dogs. I could sit there for hours, it was so tranquil!!!

I also enjoy…read moresitting on the docks, waking on the paved waking paths, and walking on the unpaved trails to the dog park with my pup! I've been a regular here for ages! There are public bathrooms at the boathouse and note that there are often events (like weddings) at the actual structure. This happens all nights of the year (or so it seems and by that I mean random weeknights is when I often stumble upon a wedding). It used to be PACKED during COVID. You will almost always find parking in the main lot but occasionally if there are kids sport games on the fields, and lots of kids on the playground, and boats being launched (boats plus trailers take up two spots)... well then you will maybe need to park in the overflow lot. I'm not sure if both of those lots are ever simultaneously full but there is a little parking garage a tiny way up the road by the Glastonbury library (if needed). It's a quick walk up to town & there are some little free libraries (and Poke-stops) nearby! Thank you :)

There's a dog park, boat ramp, picnic pavilion, athletic fields, trail, playground to name a few. There were plenty of parking. There are multiple access points.

We also explored the playground and boat ramp area. This was a large and beautifully maintained park.

There was MDC Police that patrolled the area when I was there. Parking was plentiful when we went on a beautiful spring weekday. There were clean porta potties onsite. There were trails in the woods and out in the open; the trails were paved and gravel. It is opened daily from sunrise to sunset and closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas. There were two trails; 3.4-mile loop red trail and 2.0-mile loop yellow trail. We started off with the gravel yellow trail that has a slight incline. Then we got onto part of the red loop which was near the bridge overlooking the water. We saw a couple of deer in the woods, geese, and turtles in the water. This is where we walked on pavement. Some of the trees were marked by type. The trail was busy with walkers and bikers. Overall, I really enjoyed the hike/walk and can't wait to go back.

The WH Reservoir has been my peaceful playground and refuge since the '70's…read more Hard to believe that State Connecticut had a planned to construct ring highway through the hills beside the Reservoir. Following public protest and legal battle(s) the project was shelved indefinitely back in the 70's. This was also about the time, vehicle traffic was barred on many of the back MDC roadways. What was left, beautiful network of paved and foot beaten paths. Everyday day of the week, the public are welcome to walk, jog, saunter, bicycle these mapped trails. Mountain biking has been throttled down significantly due to excessive wear and tear on the wooded areas. Biking still remains popular long designated routes and in a one-way pattern (for everyones safety). Pedestrians: Please mind the painted walking path, eyes on drifting into the bike path - that way ALL will enjoy. Kilkenny rock has been one of my favorite destinations (refer to an MDC map) this is a nice overlook of the Hartford sky scape. Trails also connect from the Farmington Avenue entrance across to Route 44 passing over Avon Mountain. GPS and one of my favorite apps "All Trails" are helpful even to a season chap like me.
