Confirmed from Roosevelt Wilson 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.
Waterfront park featuring a playground, paved walking trails, picnic space & a memorial tree garden.

Cute little park. The play equipment is a rope climbing structure, which was good for my older kids. Not super toddler-friendly. There are some exercise equipment stations too, and a nice boardwalk to walk around a pond. Bathrooms, little free library. Several benches. All shaded!! The shade was very nice.
Beautiful park, great little walking loop around the lake. Close to downtown Davidson and all the shops. Family-friendly safe neighborhood. There is a children’s play area with slides.
This park is a nice short walk from the movie theaters, the playground is in a shaded area, and has a decent space for picnics and relaxing. Be careful with small kiddos going down the slide as the design is not the best for little tushies (bumpy). [Sign says its for 5 to 12yos.
Cute little spot! It's right near our kids new doctor's office, and knowing that there's fun playgrounds and gluten-free food nearby is a plus since this is a pretty long drive from our house. But it's worth it to stay with our awesome GP and I look forward to visiting this little community again.
