Crate Training

I recently got a new dog who is 1 1/2 yrs old. He came from the Humane Society. He is somewhat needy (I think). He wants to follow me from room to room, constantly at my side. Anyhow, I live in a condo, he chews alot, ans has had a couple of accidents on the wood floors. Is crate training a good option? Is it humane to crate train a dog of his age? I would also like some advice on exercise time. I live close to a park and can take him there to run. I haven't yet because I'm afraid he will run off. I thought I should give him some time to get more attached so that he will come back or stay with me?

Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks
