Confirmed from Island City Park Preserve'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.
Tranquil green space on Middle River, featuring a playground, a basketball court and workout equipment.
What runners say about Island City Park Preserve
“Places to sit down and relax and maybe eat a snack and the restrooms are usually clean.”
“Beautiful piece of nature located right on the waters edge in North Wilton Manors.”
“They say it is “raining men” as you walk down Wilton Drive and while you can never have enough, Island City Park Preserve offers a quiet respite from the deluge.”
“Not to mention giving it to straight people in the gayest city just reinforces this heteronormative city view that chosen family isn’t included in family friendly.”
They say it is “raining men” as you walk down Wilton Drive and while you can never have enough, Island City Park Preserve offers a quiet respite from the deluge. It backs into one of the waterways and you can find some pretty cool birds and other natural wonders.
Absolutely peaceful and such a hidden gem- was my last little nature walk for the year. 🙏🌳💫
Great workout equipment, and basketball court. They have a nice little boardwalk along the Middle River.
