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.
Relaxed park with grassy areas, a playground and trails, plus a swing set and a slide.
What runners say about Curtis Woods Park
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.
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.
Great place to walk and eat lunch! Nice park, is kept up and usually in summer they have a Porta potty!
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.
