Confirmed from H. Kenneth Wilkie Memorial River’s Edge 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.

“First time here ,very tiny little park ,sound of waves make u relax,Peaceful relaxing not crowded”
Beautiful mature trees provide plenty of shade on the walking paths. There are several places to sit and look at the river. This park is enjoyed by both young and elderly people. I always feel safe there regardless of the time of day which us important to me.
Good seat and walking trail amist the back drop of the river and grassy lightly wooded park. Clean and family friendly. Nice place for a picnic date. To relax or to go fishing. Boat watching kite flying
Nice local park with river access, shade from large trees, and easy street-side access. Quiet and simple.
Pretty scenic walk by the water. Short, maybe about a mile walk from parking lot and circle. Nice large gazebo, playground, tennis courts, chess tables, benches and interesting trees to try and climb
