Access to Sherwood Park is from Mt. Pleasant Road, then east along Sherwood Avenue. It is a short hike along a paved road from the parking lot to the entrance of the fenced in off-leash dog park/trail. The dog park is nicely shaded, and the trails are mostly fenced in except for a few spots where someone/thing had broken through the fencing. There is a water fountain at the entrance to the dog park.
If you turn left before getting to the dog park, there is a short path on either side of the creek going north. One side features a children's playground. The other side is fit for walking dogs. It is a very short walk (about 200 meters) to Blythwood Road, where you can cross the street to enter the Blythwood Ravine.
The path through the ravine is wide, mostly packed dirt, with some parts gravel and paved. The dirt path looks like it becomes quite wet and muddy after rain. The shaded trail appear to be popular with the locals. The entire route is quite short, with less than a kilometer's walk to the tennis courts at Lawrence Park.
