What people say, in short
Many visitors recommend Winnemac Park. One visitor calls it a lovely walk all year, another loves its willows, and a third points to one huge tree that stands out in autumn. Two visitors raise unleashed dogs: one says a regular group of them running loose makes the park unnerving for leashed dogs, and another objects to dogs running loose during school hours.
