Confirmed from Robert E. Woolley State 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.
Walking trails in a peaceful state park popular for dog walking, fishing and airplane watching.

A great place for running, dog walking, watching sunset and planes landing. Parking is easy. I love that there’s no high-voltage power lines in view which is common at the southern side of the bay trail.
Really cool spot for many reasons. Clean air. Nice walking trails. Places to fish. Clean public restrooms open till dusk. Located near the Embassy Suites and Coyote Point so nice environment and good recreational spots. The list can go on but I'm sure you get the gist. Must visit..
Nice little spot great view... great for dog walking, jogging and fishing. Bring a jacket simetimes it gets very windy!!
Small park next to the Embassy Suites by Hilton that’s well kept and quiet. Nice little oasis on the island even if it is small. Has a good walking trail that links up with two other longer trails nearby. Views are great & for the aviation enthusiasts there’s a great view of the airport when planes are landing west.
