Confirmed from Freedlander 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“They offer a playground, pond with fishing available, many sites to grill, a beautiful building to rent for parties and there is a pool as well.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“I sat at a place that was really calm and serene.”

Great frisbee golf course (minus all the poison ivy along the paths, did get a tick there too). Cute little pond with lots of frogs and one big carp. Best of all, toadstools!

★★★★☆ — Christine , Jun 2018

This is another really nice park with major tree canopy, a pond, frisbee golf, tennis courts, updated playground set, walking paths, and from where I was sitting it looked like there was a baseball diamond. I sat at a place that was really calm and serene.

★★★★★ — Pach , Sep 2025

This park is a charming place to stop on lunch break and talk a quick walk. Rolling landscape, woods, and a picnic area make Freelander Park a must-visit when in Wooster.

★★★★★ — Jason , Apr 2025

Many great places here within the park for recreation and relaxation, trails, lake, pavilions, basketball court, baseball diamond, and of course the pool.

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.
