Confirmed from Twining 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.

Great park in Monroe wi. Great ball diamonds for kids and their teams. Clean bathrooms and shelter available. Monroe Park n Recreation keep this park maintained very well. Whether your enjoying your kids baseball games, flag football, soccer, or just want a cool park to take a walk or just hang out w family.

★★★★★ — Ryan , Dec 2018

This park is a great place to take photos. There are 2 shelters fir picnics..one recently rebuilt. Disc golf, soccer & baseball are regularly played here in the summer. There are 2 large parking lots. Also a stream runs through the park. Many runners & walkers use this area. It is one of my favorite places in Monroe!

★★★★★ — Mary , Oct 2017

We love Twining park! They have a splash pad and playground by a shelter. We love the addition of the tables to the splash pad area. There is plenty of parking and a trail. We enjoy going there when there are festivities happening there.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
