Confirmed from Dellwood 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.
150-acre park with picnic shelters, playgrounds & a disc-golf course, plus athletic fields & trails.
What runners say about Dellwood Park
“The grounds of the park are well kept and several groups were enjoying the many pavilions.”
“It is absolutely beautiful to walk the trails and see all that nature has to offer.”
“Dellwood is a place that I visit almost everyday ! It is a large park with a variety of historical sites and things to partake in. There are so many options when it comes to this park.
It is absolutely beautiful to walk the trails and see all that nature has to offer. I would have given 5 stars if not for dodging getting hit by discs from disc golfers. Disc golf course is in line with walking running trails so you have to be careful. Great park for kids to play on if you come just for that.
Very well maintained with several pavilions, gazebos, and amphitheaters. There are paved bike paths and beautiful bridges throughout the park. A stream with limestone rocks and canyons set this park apart from other local public places. It also has the best Disc Golf course.
Awesome course that is well maintained. The pro shop has a lot to offer. I wish they sold disc retrievers! xD I played this course twice and lived it both times. Most of the water is shallow enough to find your disc.
Trail conditions & character
“Awesome views and an amazing Disc Golf Course made for a great evening of fun and spring entertainment.”
