Confirmed from Sherwood Fields 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.
Nature preserve offering trails through forest and meadows for walking, jogging, and dog walking.
What runners say about Sherwood Fields Park
“Moderate distance, mostly flat path that's reasonably well maintained.”
Nice nature trail to walk with kids. It’s pretty flat and mostly paved. If you do the big loop and the little loop it’s about two miles. There is a small bridge that goes over the creek which we had fun looking at the water. Nice trail, will definitely come back.
I came here on lunch to enjoy a nice run outside at a new place. I was hoping the trail was longer (it was about a mile and a half), but I look forward to bringing my dog here. I saw quite a few dogs here. A few were off leash which is actually not allowed. At least they were friendly.
Really cute trail, great for dog walking or going for a jog. Moderate distance, mostly flat path that's reasonably well maintained. Forest and meadow views. Not too buggy during summer!
Nice mix of trails and paths. Can be puddles and mud depending on times of year and recent rain. Weeds get high between mowings
