Confirmed from Wells 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.
Surrounding a sizable pond, this grassy park features a jogging path, playground & picnic pavilion.
What runners say about Wells Park
“Not much there but the scenery, lake and sunset were beautiful.”
“Still very peaceful if your ever stuck at the hospital visiting or just leaving nice and peaceful.”
I love this place! So big and vibrate. There are so many creatures to see and all seem to be friendly and sociable. A bunch of lakes and a library to boot. I would recommend coming here just to hang out or go for a walk. There's also a cute park and event center for if you have to use the restroom.
