Confirmed from Curtis 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 Curtis Woods Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (120 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice park. It has some pathways for joggers or someone walking their dog. More people have begun to frequent due to the popularity of GPS based games but visitors seem to be friendly or not bothersome and there is a shaded seating area for picnics as well.

★★★★☆ — Bryan , Aug 2016

Nice little park right beside the train tracks but has trees as a natural fence so the train tracks cant be seen. Otherwise, a nice path goes around the park to walk, with a tiny play area for kids. Has about 4-5 covered benxhes for a picnic with a few spread across the grassy area.

★★★★☆ — Enn , Jul 2020

Great place to walk and eat lunch! Nice park, is kept up and usually in summer they have a Porta potty!

★★★★★ — Noel , Feb 2018

We come here probably once a week at least to walk with the kids & dog. It's a cute little park mostly used for the track. There is a swing & slide for kids.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
