Confirmed from Walter B. Williams 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.
Relaxed park featuring ballfields, trails and tennis courts, plus a playground.
What runners say about Walter B. Williams Park
“Clean water, clean pavilion with electrical outlets, charged my ebike and hung my hammock, went swimming.”
I like this park. Nice little lake with a paved path that fully encircles it. That same path has some branches on the right with dirt paths that lead and around in the forest and has maultiple branch parhs each. It's enough that you might get lost.
I go there for the walking track, but they also have an awesome disc golf course. Wish they would update the playground and the benches around the pond. The park is popular, and overall, a nice place to enjoy nature.
I rode the mountain bike trails today and was very impressed by how well the trails have been maintained. There are new cut trails that are wide and reinforced with crushed run gravel. There was only one area that was soft and needed some of that gravel, but it was evident that it is a work in progress.
I love walking here. All the wildlife in the pond. Some nice people to walk around. A fairly high here and there. Nature doesn't have to be so lonely. Bring a friend enjoy each other's time together
