Confirmed from Alice Wainwright Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Grassy waterfront park with sheltered picnic tables, view-oriented benches & basketball courts.
What runners say about Alice Wainwright Park
“This park is a beautiful hidden jewel, with water views.”
“Ray and I love this park because it’s quiet and so what secluded, there’s always something so soothing about just sitting on the waterfront watching your bed having fun”
Such a beautiful park. It is located in the middle of some pretty nice houses yet you find something so simple and elegant as this park. Named after a strong woman leader and advocate for the environment. It is fitting that this park reflects that. Love the playground and has a small bike path.
This park is a beautiful hidden jewel, with water views. This park has been here as long as I can remember. KUDOS to the staff for keeping it lovely and to whomever added the small walking trail and wall along the water line.
Great park right on the ocean! Relaxing ocean breeze throughout the whole park with a great nature atmosphere to do small hikes with the kids. There is also a nice padded playground and swing set, full basketball court , restrooms, benches everywhere, outdoor workout equipment , and tons of pavilions .
The renovation is almost finished, a long seawall perfect for lovers or just to relax breathing the salt water breezes. Nice (almost one mile) walking path, some exercise equipment and few party gazebos plus a huge kid's playground. It's worthy to give it's try.
