We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Forestwood Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Park with baseball, tennis, and handball courts, a playground, and a walking trail.
What runners say about Forestwood Park
“Clean quite u can make friends play basketball very good park it's safe it's by the police and i had a very good experience”
A great place to fly your rc planes or quadcopter and just take a walk ! I'm flying my planes all the time in the park it's so relaxing come out and enjoy yourself maybe you can watch me fly my jets see you there .
Me and Joe love to walk around the trail. Close to the house so we don't have to drive. Has many playing fields, restroom, basketball, tennis and handball court. Come enjoy the day.
I walk the trail in Forestwood Park at least 5 too 6 days a week. It's well maintained. They cant be held responsible for people who throw thrash on the Park grounds even though their may be a thrash can right there where dumped the thrash(slobs).
I live in a neighborhood subdivision about 5-7 minutes away from here. I have to drive my dog here to walk her because of stray and pet owners who don’t leash their dogs in my neighborhood. This is the safest place for me. It’s well kept and safe thus far. I will continue to come here!
