Woodbourne Park is a spacious, well-maintained park located in Wantage, NJ, featuring a dedicated dog park area tucked behind the ball fields. This pet-friendly park is a local favorite for dog owners seeking safe, comfortable walking spaces. The park’s paved, one-mile path winds around the sports fields, perfect for people and pups looking for an easy, accessible stroll without venturing onto rugged hiking trails. There’s plenty of open space for dogs to play and make new friends.
Visitors appreciate the beautifully clean grounds, numerous benches, and peaceful atmosphere for dog walks, lunch breaks, or simply enjoying nature. While the main attraction is the dog park and walking path, Woodbourne Park also features a playground, picnic areas, and restrooms (porta-potties) for families. Dog owners note that the park is generally safe, but it’s a good idea to check for ticks after visiting grassy areas. With its ample parking, paved paths, and relaxing green setting, Woodbourne Park is a top dog-friendly destination in Sussex County.
Large sports park with playground. Plenty of benches and porta potty’s. Nicely maintained with a paved walking path. If you are looking for wooded trails, this is not for you.
Walked the entire park 1.6miles in about 48 minutes. Recommend.
Only good for walking around or playing on the fields. Definitely check for ticks after though I did have one crawling on me while sitting in the grass.
The playground was horrifying. The parents weren’t paying attention and the other kids (7+8 year olds) refused to let my 2 year old play on the small slide. One little boy tried to pee down the big slide.
Find a better playground for your kids.
This place is absolutely lovely for a walk. The walking paths are all paved, so it’s a good place for people looking for places to walk, but necessarily can’t get out on a trail or want a safer place than along the side of a road.
Nice clean park with a 1 mile paved path that goes around ball fields. Nice dog park around the back.
Beautiful peaceful park. Nice playground and long walkway
