Confirmed from Waukewan Highlands Community 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 with a trail for hiking and casual walks, plus a pond.
What runners say about Waukewan Highlands Community Park
“Pleasant walk through the woods down to a scenic view by a small pond tucked into the wooded hillside”
“Easy hike with enjoyable trail inclines and declines, nice watering hole for friends of the 4 legged persuasion👍😎”
This is a gem of a park hidden in Meredith off of Parade Road. You can either walk in the fields or in the woods are alongside this beautiful pond. It's also very dog friendly.
What an incredibly beautiful Maintained park. Perfect for your outdoor enthusiast's and dog walkers alike. It also has a great little fishing spot if your into that as well.
Gray place for a hike or walk, and for those curious there are no fish in the pond. It took me a few days of waited time to realize that.
