Lilydale off leash dog trail is nice. It's fenced in its River adjacent but you can't get to the River from inside the dog park There are smaller bisecting trails that you can explore for the most part it's an easy peasy dog park

Decently big park. Has a small dog area. No water access unless you leave the gated area. Garbages only at the two entrances. It is lovely but the middle is hard to walk through since trails aren't well established yet.

I saw on Facebook that this park had just opened, so I took a dog to go check it out! It's a great park, and very wild. TONS of places to sniff and explore if you've got an active dog. There is a lot of waist deep foliage here, so make sure you and your dogs are ready for ticks. I had a couple minor complaints: There was only one water dish, at the entrance There are no trash cans in the area, just at the entrance. We are SO close to the river, and there's no water access. Still, great park and we'll definitely be back. It might be my second favorite dog park. Bring water and bug spray.

The Lilydale Dog park follows a beautiful winding road down to the River basin. In my experience, Google Maps does well to get me there. Our pups love the journey. We follow a road lined with, at the time of this review, gorgeous fall foliage. At the bottom, a yacht club lingering on the banks rests ahead. Continue past it and follow the basin road for a bit. I found the turn into the parking lot a bit obscure. It is a well-potholed road that looks like it may be a service road. However, it leads to a lovely small dog park. Many friends who are nervous to explore Battle Creek in Woodbury find Lilydale a nice midway point to get cozy with the idea of letting their floofs off leash for some good ol' doggo socializing, especially because there is a separate smaller area for folks that prefer dogs in sight 😊

Very nice medium-size dog park with trails and a few open play areas. No water access, but there is a gate that exits out toward the river. It seems to be at about the middle of Lilydale regional park, so if you park at one end or the other it’s about a mile walk in. There is parking close to the dog park too, but the additional walk is nice!
