Wilmington Dog Park
Wilmington Dog Park offers separate fenced areas for small and larger dogs with a thoughtful layout. It features walking trails through wooded areas providing a natural experience. The park is wheelchair accessible with designated parking. It operates as a carry-out park, meaning visitors must take their dog’s waste with them, as there are no trash bins on site. While popular and well-loved by many, the park has faced challenges with maintenance and enforcement of rules by some visitors.

Pretty good dogs and owners. Gets pretty busy. Half of it is a hill that doesn’t get used much. Also the ground is sand which gets dusty at times but not a big deal. Separated into small and all dog areas. It’s a take with you policy so any of your trash or waste you have to take home with you there are no trash barrels, please follow the rules many don’t. Overall all it’s good I come here 2-3 times a week. Also there are trails in the back which is nice for the owners to take a walk before or after.
Although this park is relatively new, it has already sunk into disrepair. Large, unfilled holes, poop left un-picked-up, trash left piled in the corner….
This park is “carry out” (no trash on site) which means that you’re supposed to take your dog’s bagged poop with you – many people are not doing so.
This is the only park I have visited where the small-dog was based on height instead of weight.
Ground cover is mostly dirt, which will fast become mud.
Used to really enjoy this park, but got fed up with all the drama here; too many owners there to just socialize and not pay attention to their dogs. Poop bags everywhere, poop not picked up, my dogs being ganged up on/attacked by aggressive dogs, people not following the rules clearly stated on the gate. I recommend Andover over Wilmington. I swore off this park 6 months ago and tried it today and realized why I hate this park so much. Never going back again.
Nice park with 2 separate dog fenced areas and a separate system of walking trails through the immediate woods, that are as if you’re in the middle of nowhere.
Excellent architecture excellent layout with respect for larger and smaller dog zones. Unfortunately not all dogs are social! Wilmington does an excellent job with their tax money!
