Confirmed from Shorewood 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.
City park featuring a disc golf course with concrete tees and bridges over creeks.
What runners say about Shorewood Park
“I always enjoy playing disc golf at Sherwood it was a little muddy today but that can be expected of any course this time of year for a small course it is well kept was cement tees”
Been coming here for 15 years and still my favorite course. Good amount of long holes but also challenging shots in the woods. Can throw in about an hour and not a huge hike.
Trail conditions & character
“The upkeep could be better but all holes have solid concrete pads, signs, and baskets.”
“I always enjoy playing disc golf at Sherwood it was a little muddy today but that can be expected of any course this time of year for a small course it is well kept was cement tees”
“While I usually see lots of cars in the parking lot, the park itself never feels cramped.”
