Located adjacent to the Westport Playhouse, Winslow Park is a large, Westport-owned park in the heart of the town. In addition to walking and biking trails, it has a picnic area, a large off-leash area for dogs, fields, and gardens. It's open from sunup to sundown, and it has its own parking lot (a plus in Westport). It's really more of a large abandoned farm estate than a park. It's beautiful and perfect for dogs to run around in. There's a watering fountain, some toys (but not many--bring your own), and nice benches scattered around the grounds. Nice touch: the benches are named in memory of people's pets. Very nice park. read more

Winslow Park is a small little neighborhood park, filling the area behind the Westport Country Playhouse, at the intersection of N Compo Road and State Street. There's a little parking lot on Compo, and some additional parking behind the playhouse. This is mostly a park of rolling meadows, along with a nicely wooded path, with picnic tables, and a lot of people out walking their dogs. Half of the park is off leash for dogs, and half is on-leash only. In the winter, when there's a good amount of snow, this park is a local gathering for sledding and snow tubing. Overall a cute little park to walk around and enjoy some tranquil scenes. read more

This is a GREAT park. So much space. Very well maintained. The off-leash area is huge! I only wish it was fenced in. Even with the snow melting, it was not soggy. Definitely a great people and dog friendly park. read more

Nice place to bring your dog & picnic with easy parking lot access direct from Compo Rd North. Several benches & picnic tables in sun or shade. Plenty of open grass for running and games. Very popular spot for dog owners, with poop baggies right at the entrance. Many dogs are allowed off leash- most are very well behaved and not aggressive- otherwise they stay on leash. read more

This dog park is large and has a big off leash area yes. But it is in no way fenced in. It has a split rail fence, with breaks in it. So if your dog is not that good with listening off leash, this is not the park for you. read more

I go to Winslow nearly every day when I'm in Westport. Great trails. Extremely scenic. There's also a cute little creek just off the trail. Perfect if your dogs need a place to cool down. The park has both an off and on-leash area, so dog-owners be advised. Snobby labradoodle owners seem to disregard this rule and let their giant dogs roam and jump on visitors, so if you're not a dog fan, be aware. Most of the visitors here are responsible, but again, it's Westport. There are some people who assume rules don't apply to them. A lot of people don't pick up dog waste and leave plastic bags/garbage everywhere. Some people also tend to regularly bring their aggressive dogs and assume it's okay because they are some fancy designer breed. My little dogs have been attacked by several greyhounds and Rhodesian ridgebacks at this park, so just make sure to always be aware and look for signs of aggression when new dogs approach. There are also several people that bring dogs here that aren't fixed, so be on the lookout for that. Also, wouldn't recommend bringing food in the off-leash area. You will be hounded by dogs and chewed out by annoyed owners. Negatives aside, this park is very enjoyable and relaxing. It provides the perfect outdoor atmosphere for both you and your canine. Perfect place to get a nice jog in or just get some vitamin d. read more

Amazing dog friendly park with a huge off-leash area for dogs to get plenty of exercise, chase balls and socialize with other dogs. Complete with water for dogs, poop bags and benches. One of the features that my dog and I love is the trail that goes all the way around the park read more

I stopped here with my dog en route to New York from Massachusetts. The park itself is enormous! There are lovely woodsy walking trails and open meadows. A large portion of it is off-leash dog-friendly, and my dog loved romping around in such a big space. They provided poop bags as well as several water fountains- always a sign of a good park in my opinion. I recommend if you are in the area and need a stretch break! read more
