Confirmed from Buckeye Woods 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.
What runners say about Buckeye Woods Park
“This park features walking and bike paths and features beautiful scenery, fishing pond, two playground areas, picnic pavilion and several soccer fields.”
Love this park! Dog friendly. Paved paths. Lots of benches. Some unpaved paths with crushed gravel are still very smooth. There is a pond for fishing. Soccer fields. Playgrounds. The signage for the park entrance is difficult to see.
I love this park! It has everything. Paved paths, gravel paths, a pond, playground, open fields…I’ve come here with a stroller, a bike, and a dog on separate occasions and it’s great for handling it all.
Great Park, first time here, I loved it. It's beautiful. Several different trails to walk, or run. You can even pick up a bike and take on the trails. There is an asphalt path that goes around the fishing pond. Along this trail there are benches to sit taking nature.
This park boasts a great walking path made up of fine gravel and sand with very few inclines for those looking for a nice stroll. It meanders through the woods out around a lake teaming with various fowl, including a couple pair of swans.
