Confirmed from West Guth 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.
Spacious park, pond and pool featuring disc golf, walking trails and play equipment.
What runners say about West Guth Park
“Beautiful, clean park that is very spacious and has plenty of picnic tables to have a meal with your family.”
“Beautiful, clean park that is very spacious and has plenty of picnic tables to have a meal with your family.”
“Not much shade though on the disc course.”
We love this park. I go running & also we love to feed the ducks, other birds, and turtles some bread! Be careful for frisbee throwers though.
Nice place to entertain rambunctious kids. Be advised, the geese can be aggressive so watch kids closely. The pool is not open and you're better off going to a gas station or waiting until you get home to use the bathroom. Take GermX if you're going to be eating, and mosquito repellent if there's been rain.
A great place to enjoy the outdoors! Nice walking paths, great playground, and more. Looking forward to when the splash pad re-opens so I can take my toddler. There is a lack of covered seating area by the playground, but trees have been planted to remedy this. It will be perfect once the trees get taller.
Very clean and peaceful. Great for family. Several playground areas for kids, social distancing is not a problem. Has trails for walking/jogging/biking etc. Nice view of water/pond, has a huge party area with tables, smaller picnic table areas for family Bar-B-Q, restrooms and a community swimming pool.
