Confirmed from Greenwood Urban Wetlands' 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.
What runners say about Greenwood Urban Wetlands
“Beautiful lake and lots of wildlife, small dog park, plenty of benches, and a nice spot for a picnic :)”
“There's a community garden, mini sharing library, plenty of benches and Cypress trees, very tranquil and peaceful.”
“Has a circular path to walk on as well as it features an open dog friendly area.”
Need a break from the hustle of city life. Nice paths to walk and picturesque areas all around.
Such an relatively unknown area for the most part, unless your close to the area, you'll just probably past right by. A beautiful area to walk, picnic or spend time with family. Great photo ops as well.
Beautiful, quiet, and clean park. Has a circular path to walk on as well as it features an open dog friendly area. It is mostly shaded as the name might suggest with many trees covering the path. Included benches a long the way to stop and enjoy the view. Parking lot with plenty of space for parking.
Smaller loop but very relaxing, quiet and cute area! Has a little romantic area with a tree overhead, play place and a place for the dog to run around. I wouldn't mind walking a few laps or just hanging out with some friends on a nice day

- SurfacePaved — asphalt or concrete. Fast and predictable, runnable year-round, and fine with a stroller
