Confirmed from Greater Wilson Rotary 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.

Soccer fields and pickle ball court. Kids playground and covered picnic tables. Brand New restroom facility and filtered water station for filling hydration packs and water bottles. 1/2 mile lighted and paved walk/bike/run trail. Super nice come enjoy!

★★★★★ — Glen , Jul 2021

Nice park! The jogging area is perfect for 2 people to walk through and the field is also smooth! To play soccer on and the tennis area is even better!

★★★★★ — Weather , Dec 2019

During our weekend, trip to Wilson, North Carolina, we had spent the whole day running around doing all the things we had set out to do. It was a nice day out, and he got a recommendation for a park from a waiter from The Hub. The park was quaint and located in the middle of what seemed like a quiet neighborhood.

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.
