Confirmed from Welty Road 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.
Public park with a playground and picnic tables, plus a walking path and baseball field.
What runners say about Welty Road Park
“Nice park, very clean, paved walking trails, clean bathrooms, a huge pavilion and a lot of kids sports teams play here.”
Wonderfully spacious park nestled away from...well everything! I love this place I only hope they will add more playground equipment at some point...or an exercise station trail..something more... Otherwise it's beautiful and peaceful❤
I would come here and just run laps around the park, about 1.3 miles. For longer trips, there is a path to Renfrew, and another path to a park further North. I like running in grass, so this was a nice place.
Great place! Cozy little playground, walking trail. Softball and football fields. 1 Large pavilion Building is clean and tidy and very spacious. XL gymnasium= awesome for indoor partys (DJ's are allowed). Several rooms for sml events. Kitchen. Lots of parking. Highly recommend!
Small but nice. My son loves going here. Nice paved walking path and access to renfrew park trails also. Nice pavilion and play area.

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
