Confirmed from Deane Wiley 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.

“Diane Wiley Park is a beautiful and well maintained park.”

Great park. The layout is awesome. The children can play on the centrally located equipment and parents can walk the path around it.... picnic tables with shelters and restrooms make it a favorite of ours!!

★★★★★ — Wesley , May 2021

Love this park! The city should definitely look into putting a splash park in the middle of the walking track😍

★★★★★ — Mollianne , May 2019

Diane Wiley Park is a beautiful and well maintained park. Playground, basketball court, multiple covered picnic areas with grills, benches throughout the walking path, and a large field perfect for flying a kite, frisbee, or a quick game with family.

★★★★★ — Shannon , Aug 2023

Love this park. Great walking/jogging track around the park and around the field. Rock wall, swings, and slides in the sand plus multiple pavilions with picnic tables. Steet parking and a small lot.

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.
