New Park on an Old Farm


A new dog park just opened in Woodstock. It is part of Fairview Park, which already had a soccer field and jogging trail.

The site was a farm and has a farmhouse and bank barn dating to about 1895. The master plan for the park refers to this as the Mary Wetzel farm.




The dog park features separate areas for big dogs and small dogs. The big dogs have some agility equipment. There is a shelter with benches, and even a doggy drinking fountain.

  1. ...Linda, your barn is much like the ones that we have in this area. The boarded up house still look good and square, I wonder if it will be fixed up! Dog parks are very popular these days. Thanks for sharing.

  3. This looks as if it is going to be an amazing park when everything is done. Are there any plans to renovate the house?
