Confirmed from West D Street Greenway'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.

What runners say about West D Street Greenway

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (39 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Beautiful place on the river off the bike path.”

This is a tarmac walkway alongside the Willamette River that extends from Heron Park almost all the way to Island Park. It lies in a residential area with unobstructed river views. Numerous benches make this walk accessible for those with mobility issues, although walkway is a bit wavy at times rather than flat.

★★★★★ — Patricia , Jun 2019

I love this park. It is a nice place to run, walk, bike, swim and fish

★★★★★ — Becky , Apr 2023

great place to walk a dog or sit by the river! wonderful little spot in springfield.

★★★★☆ — Matthew , May 2025

Beautiful walk aling the river. Trails down to the water in various places along the path.... Swimming is good but water can be quite swift.

★★★★★ — Ruby , Jun 2019

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.
