Is there a fenced dog park?

Yes. A separate fenced dog yard sits near the playground and shelter, apart from the walking trails.

No. Reviewers describe it as free to use, parking included.

How long are the trails?

Short enough to loop more than once, and one reviewer warns there is no posted distance map, so mileage has to be tracked by phone.

There are restrooms at the shelter, along with a water fountain and a grill, but one reviewer notes they only work sometimes.

Is there shade at University Park?

Plenty. Tall trees cover the paved trail and much of the playground, which is the feature reviewers mention first.

University Park reviews

What visitors consistently say

The highlights

One reviewer puts University Park well ahead of the other Greenwood parks, and the reason is the tree cover: tall trees turn the paved loop into something closer to forest than suburban grid. A fenced dog yard, paved walking trails, and a shaded shelter on one footprint is unusual at this scale.

Before you go

There is no posted distance map for the trail loop, so use a phone tracker if you are counting miles. The shelter restrooms are not always operational; plan a backup nearby.
