Confirmed from Wahlfield 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.

“Amazing pump track and beginner loop that is super short for kids of all ages to try and get their feet wet in the sport!”

Great trails and scenery for hiking, mountain bikes, or even just a walk and plenty of options for different paces/terrain. Playground, trails, and restrooms are always clean!

★★★★★ — Rachel , Sep 2022

Great park with nice well maintained trails. They also have mountain biking trails that are well maintained! No riding when its muddy though! The park also has a play center with your normal slides and monkey bars etc. A couple covered pavilions are in the area and a bath house with facilities is also there.

★★★★★ — Joe , Oct 2020

Beautiful place to walk. Be aware that there are Mountain Bikers as well. The direction they travel will change based on the day. Also, they ask that the trails not be used on muddy days in order to protect them from erosion.

★★★★★ — Becky , Oct 2023

This park is great for a picnic, a walk on the trail, or a place for the kids to run around and burn off some energy. This playground equipment is first-rate, and really well maintained. There's something to do for all ages, even the two-year-old crowd, with a few bouncy animals, and swings with backs.

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.
