McClelland Park — Attraction in Erie

A very nice wheelchair accesible dog social park , there is no Wi-Fi however plenty of places to sit ,barbecue and contemplate or exercise and socialize your partner , there is covered shelter in the event of bad weather in the playground area or just a place for shade . There are human porta potty’s available drinking water and a variety of paved and unpaved trails to walk , it is a wonderful place I used to bring my late partner here to hang out , I’m sure there are unkind dog people , fortunately I never met them in the wild or at the park ( as a side note my G/F and I met on a street corner thanks to my “chick magnet” partner breaking the ice , we had a lot more in common than just dogs 15 + years later still together ) . Have a fun summer and meet nice...

What a beautiful place to take kids and dogs! Kids loved the playground and the dogs loved the enclosed dog park. Lots of things for both to do. The drinking fountains have a bottle fill-up, traditional fountain, and a fountain on ground level for the canines! The kids loved to push the button so the dogs could get a drink. I'm not as familiar with the trails enough to review them, but the ones we walked were well maintained. My only concern is the lack of tree cover/shade surrounding the playground. There's a small pavilion but not much else unless you head for the treeline/trails. There are some trees but they're not big. Just remember to bring the sunscreen and water!...

I grew in the neighborhood on Woodlawn Ave. Always enjoyed the sled ridings on the hills during the winter months and the dirt trails for biking and running. The trails have change tremendously and I was very disappointed to find out that the horseshoe was filled in with dirt💔💔😳 The kids today would have enjoyed riding their bikes on it as I did as a young kid. Back in the 70's and 80's no motorized vehicles were allowed up there to preserve the wildlife and the safety of the kids who would be playing there. But now, I see vehicles come and go from there and its just breaks my heart...
