Confirmed from Uplands 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.
What runners say about Uplands Park
Great little pocket park for kids. No restrooms or parking lot, but there is parking on the street across from the park. Playground is geared for 2-5 years & has some features that aren't super common. There is a half dirt/half paved trail around the park for walking/biking (approximately .6 miles).
Loved the park. I wish there was parking near it. That was a bit of a struggle. I do understand it is along a biking/running path and sidewalks for those who live in the neighborhood. We were just visiting a sun prairie park that we had not yet been to and needed to drive and park to access this so it was a challenge.
