Confirmed from Greenback Wood 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.
Relaxed place for the family featuring grassy areas, playgrounds and a basketball court.
What runners say about Greenback Wood Park
“This place is always clean and the weather today was great for a picnic.”
“Close to our home and big beautiful place to play around, ride a scooter or bike.”
Fun, clean play area. Lots of grass for dogs to run around. Book exchange box there too, super cute. Only down fall, no restrooms or bbq pits. Golf area and dog park across the street. There is always parking too
Two great playgrounds. One for younger children and the other for older or more advanced kids. Clean. Tons of space. Great walking path around park. Basketball court. Plenty of benches and tables with some shade
Cute little park with a nice sidewalk path around it. Also has toddler and big kid playgrounds which not every park has around here. Really well maintained. We loved it!
Great park for relaxing and walking. It has a easy walking path with a slight incline. Good environment for kids and dogs.
