Woodstock Park

Beautiful and quiet neighborhood park with huge pine trees giving plenty of shade. Several picnic tables, bathrooms and a sports field. Very pleasant.

Great dog park lots of dogs. Doggies everywhere - lots of dogs. Nice place to maybe meet people

Clean, lush park with lots of green grass for picnics and gatherings with friends, especially during COVID-19. Also a great place to run your dog as there is so much uninterrupted grass.

I happened by in a sunny Saturday in early fall and it made for a lovely walk in between running errands. Very clean, quiet and peaceful.

Woodstock City Park is a nice little urban/residential park between 47th and 50th just south of Steele. It's the center of gravity for activity in the area, with an adjacent school, playground, off-leash dog park, plenty of open grass, picnic tables, etc.

This park is a great, safe place to come get your grass on (no, not smoking weed, just to lay, stay or play on some nice green turf). There are some trees for shade, many nice open areas for kicking a ball or tossing the bee, and there's a play area for the kiddos. Add in some picnic tables and restrooms and you've got pretty much everything you need for a nice, green afternoon.

This is not the most scenic or spectacular park in the city, but it doesn't need to be. It serves an excellent purpose for neighborhood gatherings.

Beautiful park; looks fun for all kinds! Plenty of space for doggies, kiddos and what looked to be like an unkempt tiny skating rink!

Only caveat, I saw people not keeping up with their poop-picking, after all the little babies. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I know, I know. Three measly stars? Don't get me wrong. The park is beautiful. Lots of open space surrounded by big bad conifers. Weird brick art. Paved paths. Public restrooms. Plenty of space to stretch out on the grass for a picnic. Free softball games for the watching. A tennis and volleyball court. Heck yes.

I think it was the awkward park patrons that dropped it a star for me. This is SUCH a neighborhood park, that the locals seem to take that factor to an extreme. It's their backyard, so they virtually live here, which means they bring their personal dramas here.

I could never actually relax during my picnic and bookfest here: a couple hundred feet away, a couple had rendezvoused here to vent some steam about their secret lesbian affair. Now, if you're meeting in the park as a middle ground so you can have a private conversation about how fucked up your psychotic-business-woman-falls-in-love-with-aggro-butch-bicyclist relationship is, don't you think you'd... you know... keep the volume down? Apparently not. Even while trying to block the feud out, I could hear every word being said, as could any other passer-by.

Then there were the dog snobs. Ah boy. How I love me some dog-watching fun. Parks that are dog-friendly get points in my book. But open free-range dog parks where the owners have lost track of their four-legged companions because they're busy gossiping with the other dog snobs? I saw a lot of dogs doing their excretory business in the park and very few owners picking up after them. Yeah, not cool.

I guess what I'm saying is: what a lovely park. If the locals dig it so much, why don't they respect it more? If your dog is toy aggressive, why don't you leave his toys at home? If your dog poops, why don't you grab one of the bags the park supplies and pick it up? And if you're having a secret love affair, why not keep it that way: SECRET.

Four stars for the park. Two stars for the park-goers.

Best way to enjoy: With a dog!
Would return?: We do all the time!

A go-to park for us to bring our dog. My review is definitely biased towards the dog park area, since that's how we have experienced it, but it really is a wonderful place to bring the pup. There are almost always dogs there, and some of the friendliest dog owners that we have met at local parks.

It's not fenced in, but there are usually other dogs around, and for us that's all it takes to keep our dog from wandering too far away.

HUGE selling point for us when we bought our home.

This park is dreamy. Just... *dreamy*

Everytime I walk through it I am reminded of being a little kid again...the tooth chipping teeter totters, plenty of swings, the dizzying marry go round, stuff to climb...jump off...and knock the fricken wind out of yourself...

Yes...nostalgia and fun times.

Also a wonderful way to pass the time in our hood for no money.

There is lots of trees, a free tennis court, and plenty of spaces for BBQ or big family picnics.

Nice large ball park. Soccer Camp is on right now...there is something relaxing about listening to the players and parents out on the field while strolling into the park. It feels lively, yet family oriented and reminds of fun, simple times.

Minus 1 point for the odd of leash dog park hours. You cannot take your dog (legally) off leash until 7pm... WTF?

I can understand why off leash during school hours from 8-3pm may not work...but people need 5pm as an option. Even on weekends they have odd hours, and it is not much better during summer. There is no sense to this AT ALL.

I do not appreciate having to let my dog off leash when it is getting dark outside.

I hope they become less stringent on off leash hours. Lame.

I have discovered that people are actually good about picking up the poop.

Occasionally there has been homeless people hanging out on the hill...but they have been harmless, just playing guitar and sitting on and around the bench, far from the kids play area as well.

My newest little find on my red cruiser bike ride :)
omg and Otto's but that's another review.

What's to say that hasn't been said...Its a neighborhood park.


Every time I am here I enjoy my time outside.

Sometimes I hop on the swing and giggle like a school kid...I cant believe how high I used to swing when I was a kid, wow. Today, I felt like I was going die from the fear of how high I was, only to measure it later at 3.4 feet :|

This getting older thing is for the birds,
and Woodstock park has a lot of those too :)

This park is along my usual running route, so sometimes I take a little detour around or through. I'm only here in the mornings during the week and it is always quiet and peaceful, with the occasional person tossing a ball around with their dog.

I've never noticed any sketchy characters hanging around and it seems clean and safe. It's pretty and a decent size for a couple of laps around, whether you're walking or running.
