Confirmed from Webster Park | Leased by the City of Wauwatosa'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.

We had a great time here yesterday! Haven’t seen a playground with turf recently, but enjoyable just the same as anything else! I feel that this playground is certainly directly to older children, but I’ll tell you that I MYSELF had a blast here yesterday.

★★★★★ — Jake , May 2023

We love Webster Park. They have turf on the playground as opposed to wood chips or grass. It is a very safe and inviting texture to run around and play on. My 5 year old son always seems to find a new friend to play with there. The playground seems to invite community-building.

★★★★☆ — Valencia , May 2021

This park is good for toddlers and older kids. They have a small stip of sidewalk surrounding the grassy play area and my two year old likes to pretend it's a train track,where he run laps and rides his balance bike around. He is tired when we leave there! Yes!

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.

“This is not a huge park, but it has a fun play area for the kids, plenty of parking, and a surprisingly large soccer field where you can roam and relax.”
