Area Parks

Residents of the Stonewall community are
fortunate to have several parks conveniently located either within or just
outside the neighborhood.
|
STONEWALL PARK |
|

The Stonewall Historic Nature Park is located beside Stonewall
Elementary School on Cornwall Drive. This park is designated as a
passive use park, with focus on natural surroundings and native plants.
The 9 acre park has a
paved trail of just over a half mile. Recent improvements to the park
include a new picnic area (shown at right), a bench, and a swing that
were added in 2005. The Stonewall Neighborhood Association worked with LFUCG's Parks and Recreation Department to add these enhanced offerings
to park visitors. Trash recepticles are also located in several
locations along the trail to help keep the area beautiful.

WELLINGTON PARK |
|

|
Wellington Park is located at the corner
of Clays Mill Road and the newly extended portion of Wellington Way,
bordering New Circle Road. Also designed with the intention of passive
use, the primary focus of this new park when complete will be on native
plantings and walking trails.
While Wellington Park is currently little
more than open fields, future plans for the 38 acre park include formal
signage, a dog run, and parking areas, some of which may be achieved in
2006.
The Stonewall Neighborhood Association is
working with the LFUCG Division of Parks and Recreation to achieve these
planned improvements and will publish updates regarding Wellington Park
to this website as they become available. |

SHILLITO PARK |
 |
The main entrance to
Shillito Park is accessible from Reynolds Road, directly behind Fayette
Mall. Additionally, a second entrance is available from the neighboring
Monticello subdivision which is shown at right.
There are enough
facilities available in Shillito to keep your family active for an
entire day. At just over 135 acres, this park is the largest in the
Stonewall area.
Restroom facilities
are available at various locations within the park. There is a public
swimming pool, as well as a great playground for younger children.
Several picnic areas (some sheltered) are scattered throughout the park,
and many also include grills.
There are
baseball/softball fields, basketball and tennis courts. There are an
abundance of open fields for you to choose your own activities, and
nearly a mile of paved trail on which to walk or run.
