Confirmed from Robinwood 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.
A mix of wooded & open space, this park offers a walking path, volleyball court & play equipment.
What runners say about Robinwood Park
“A beautiful and spacious park with a covered pavilion and playground equipment.”
“It's a great neighborhood park that is full of trees (wonderful to walk in sunny days to stay in the shade) and has a paved path going throughout the park.”
“Up front there are a couple play areas for kids but once the path goes to the back is very quiet and peaceful.”
A beautiful and spacious park with a covered pavilion and playground equipment. There are several acres of a variety of trees and lots of squirrels running around. There is a nice paved walking/running trail. The trail is a one mile loop. It is very close to the Morse Elementary School.
A nice park close to home. The loop trail is about a mile in length which allows for a good walk in all seasons.
This is my secret park that I go to when I need to get away on my lunch hour and go for a walk. Fall is my absolute favorite time to come here since there are so many trees in the park. It's deceptively big too.
I like this park. The winding path makes the park seem much larger than it is. Plus I found some interesting tiny mushrooms along the tree trunks. Made me think of fairies. Not the best park if you're looking for wild plants like I usually am, but it was pleasant regardless.
