Weve been coming here for a while, but havent been since the most recent updates...to say that I love the new open areas would be a grave understatement, and Im fairly certain the pup really enjoyed the new sights and smells, too!

The water is currently contaminated so dont let your pup swim or drink from it. Other than that, its a beautiful spot for on - or even off leash.

What a nice park to take the dog for a walk and a swim. Super easy to get to, easy parking, clean and quiet walking trails.

Lovely tree-filled area with pond, walking trails and other dogs and dog lovers.

I love this park. It is awesome that you can actually have your dog off leash. Its much bigger than one would think, theres tons of footpaths to walk. My grandfather actually built all of the bridges found there, so it has sentimental value, too. Its a great spot to snowshoe in the winter, as well!

Dont let your dog go in the water or drink the water!! Theres an algae in there that very poisonous. But other then that the dogs are all nice and its a great little hike.

Just a beautiful park for All to enjoy. If you just want to go for a walk or jog? So close to the citys you wouldnt believe how quiet it is! If you havent been? You should of. If you have a Dog? They will Love it!!

Small, quiet place. Dirt paths and a couple of foot bridges.

Shady and pretty place to walk my dog.

Huge park where you can let your dog off leash to swim and run on the trails. Well maintained and beautiful nature scenery.

Amazing off leash dog park. There are two pond areas and a large field for the dogs to run around. The trails are fairly short around the pond but extend up the hill. The community that attends are very friendly and responsible dog owners. Overall one of my favorite places to take my dog in the area.

Beautiful park & pup friendly

Perfect place to go for on a beautiful day to relax, enjoy nature and walk your dog!

Its a nice little area for dog walking and socializing. Not a lot of pretty scenery around the man made ponds, but better than a lot of city trails.

Such a perfect doggy park thats close by. With many trails both quick and a bit longer, there are many options depending on the mood/weather. Excellent for pups in training as with the most senior of pups. Totally recommend!!!

Lots of trails, two ponds, lots of dogs, all off-leash: heaven for Byron!

Fun place for dogs

Good place to park and get high if your wearing an aluminum foil hat. Do not remove the hat!!!

Nice little walk. Quiet and Love the sounds of nature around you!

Nice area, very relaxing. A great place to watch ducks in the summer and ice skate in the winter. Beautiful area for a picnic.

I take my dog here at least once a week. He loves to splash in the ponds. It is off leash, but obviously take care of your dog. Be respectful of dogs who might be a little more fearful or kids. And clean up after them. But still 10/10

Great place to bring your dog

I like the area .good for walking dogs but very hilly and Rocky.

An absolutely fantastic off leash dog park over in South Portland.

Great park to run, hike, walk, etc. Nice too for our four-legged friends

Brought my dogs, they had so much fun! I wish more people obeyed the voice command/leash law though. My dogs are on leashes for a reason, not all dogs enjoy strange dogs running up to them.

Awesome friendly dog park, great for a quick jog and some puppy time! Great layout and nice laps make your time here a delight!

An ample parking lot gives access to a trail complex through the woods around and between two ponds. Dogs are permitted off-leash if under voice command. Ponds are stocked with fish for the kids and accessible to dogs for swimming. Theres also a good sized field near the entrance.

Great spot to watch people and dogs interact.

Great place to walk the dogs! Pretty scenery. Dogs are allowed off leash. must clean up after them!

Neat wooded area surrounding a pond. This is a popular destination for dog owners/ people who love to meet dogs. Parking is scarce. Admission is free.

Hinckley Park is a great option for dog walkers on the eastern side of South Portland. There is a nice variety of trails and plenty of water spots for your furry friend to take a dip. The only real downside of this place are the inconsiderate dog owners that you will run into. There are far too many piles of dog feces that are ignored by careless owners, to the point that walking around sometime feels like navigating a minefield. Very unfortunate.

Beau loves the off leash play

Great off-leash friendly dog park with a swimming hole!

Doggy loves going on walks and runs there.

Great hike for family and dog.

.Great place to take dogs off leash 3 ponds open field and woods

My dog and I love this park. Dogs are allowed off-leash, as long as theyre reasonably under voice control. Scooping the poop is a necessity, especially since non-dog people go there, too. People fish in the ponds, and the trails are good for biking.

We always enjoy Hinckley Park. If you walk there during the winter, you may need some strap-on steel cleats for your boots, for safer footing. But the scenery is great!

Great off leash place to walk your dog. Theres 2 ponds and plenty of interconnected trails that are clearly marked

Absolutely love this place! Wish we had a park like this close to home. If you have a dog that needs some exercise and loves to be social this is the place to go.

Love the veiws and trails. very nice walking trails.Beware of roots that are off to the sides.few bridges two ponds.Dogs are free to run.

Its a dog friendly play area.

Great dog-friendly park, a forest oasis minutes from busy Portland

Beautiful park. I basically grew up with Hinkly in my back yard and used to run wild all through it every single day from dawn till dusk. Although its beautiful, its become completely over-run with dogs off leashes. Its always been a dog park but it seems lately its gotten so much worse. If your not walking a dog - stay away. I used to enjoy just strolling around taking photographs or bringing my young son fishing but I cant even do that now without dozens of (off leash) dogs barking and jumping on me with muddy paws. One even got its claw in my shirt and completely ripped it. The owner saw the whole thing and she just laughed, called the dog to her, and walked away. Its really sad what this once great family park has become. I have nothing against dogs or areas where dogs can have some freedom but the owners seem to have no control over the animals and take no responsibility when their animal does something wrong. They also have plenty of poop-bag dispensers at the entrances and yet it seems I cant walk through the park without coming out with my boots covered in dog poop. It never fails. Needless to say, although it breaks my heart, I dont go to Hinkly Park anymore . And if your not walking your dog, I wouldnt recommend going either.

Great place to bring your dog in to run boats in the ponds

Walk the dogs or let the dogs walk themself. Great park

The hubs and I brought our dog here for the first time, today- it was perfect! A great combination of open meadows as well as tucked away nooks of trees and bramble to explore. Lots of cute little bridges and streams, too. Marked paths make navigation simple, in case youre directionally un-savy, like myself.

Beautiful

Great place to bring dogs off leash. Small park but with so many loops the space is used well.

Great park! Only reason to give it 4 stars instead of 5 is theres no place for humans to use the bathroom. But our dogs had a wonderful time!

Its one of my favorite places to go to since I was a kid. Well groomed trails. Beautiful senory

Great off leash dog walking park with two ponds for the dogs to swim in.

I wont take my dog or any that Im responsible for to this park. Too many aggressive, off leash dogs with unaware owners.

Great place for dogs and dog lovers. 2 ponds, plenty of trails. Easy walking.

Fun place to take your dog off leash. They can run, play, and swim.

Great place to have a short walk in nature with my dog

Great place to go fishing

Love bringing my dog there she loves it

This park is beautiful and great to go to in any season. It is also excellent for pets and children.

Very nice park (the whole park is off-leash dog rules!) with trails/pond.

We spent almost 2 hours letting our dog play and swim with the other pups. It’s a large area in the woods made up of ponds and trails with plenty of other friendly dogs ready to play.

Great place for walking and kids can go fishing.

The perfect place to bring the pooch for a stroll and swim (for your pooch that is).

Great place to walk your dog on trails unleashed!

Love Hinkley. Lots of trails and ponds. The down fall to Hinkley is there are no restrooms. If you have to go, you have to leave.

Nice place to walk the dog, pretty, ponds and brooks.

So beautiful

Great place to let your dog/s expend a bit of energy.

Dog friendly and always a great time!

A variety of trails to walk your dog on or off leash.
