Confirmed from Keith-Wiess 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.
This expansive park features ball fields & tennis courts, plus trails & picnic areas.
What runners say about Keith-Wiess Park
“Shelters were well maintained and there are benches along the path if you need a break.”
“Multiple bodies of water with beautiful treeline surrounding them.”
“Parking easy and at the time I went very quiet around 12:30 noon”
Peaceful trails, paved and unpaved! Multiple bodies of water with beautiful treeline surrounding them. Vast valleys of serene tranquility. No hydration stations so bring plenty of water especially in the summer whereas during winter it’s cold.

Big park and lots of shade. Find alot of peoplenehre enjoying picnics, biking, walking, great place for kids to play and to walk you beloved dog friend. Porta potties are available so don't have to leave every hour to let little ones use bathroom.
I like walking here on weekends, clean and green, lake is the best part. Quite place too, encourages you to have a session of meditation here, don't forget to bring your yoga mat with you :D
