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.

Hours of operation are 10:00 am - 8:00 pm Monday through Saturday and 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Sunday.

Daily admission is $2 for youth (15 & under) and $3 for adult (16 & over)
