Confirmed from T. Henry Wilson Athletic 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.
Park featuring a baseball diamond and soccer fields, plus hiking trails.
What runners say about T. Henry Wilson Athletic Park
“The greenway here is nice and the park is always clean and maintained.”
Nice place to take a walk and relax it's nice for children and adults and pets I highly recommend it to all Caldwell residence it's a shame people don't use it more often that's what it's there for for all to enjoy, if there's one thing people need in their life it is exercise they say health is wealth, I will let you…
It is a field for sports such as baseball or soccer with a well-made back. Stopped to catch the ball. My family goes out there because of the beautiful wooded hiking trails. The aquatic center is nearby within walking distance with hiking trails going through heavily wooded mountains.
Nice place with ball parks and walking trail. Stopped there to walk my dogs while we were on a trip. Let them play in the creek, which is kinda hard when they are leashed but they had fun!.
Great spot for watching the northern lights that came this far south on May 10. Park has a baseball diamond and soccer goals and a path to walk on. There is a Porta potty if needed.
