Confirmed from Wetlands 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.
Sizable park with ponds and trails, including paved options, a play area, and wildlife.

Today we were at the east wetland park. Normally we go to the west. There's a 0.38-mile woody walking path that we enjoyed it. Now if you cross the street the old oak path which is 0.44-mile will lead you to the end of West Waterland. Both together will take a 43-minute fast walk.
I was out driving with my dog to another park in the area when we came across this little beauty. The trails are clearly marked and on flat terrain. The two ponds for which the trails basically circumvented were filled with beautifully flowering water Lillie's.
This is a really great park to take a walk, jog, or bike ride through. It is really pretty, and nice and cool in the early morning.
Trail conditions & character
“Nice walk when you don't want a long walk can go paved or dirt trail,”
“I was out driving with my dog to another park in the area when we came across this little beauty.”
“The second half of the trail, however, is dirt, which can get a bit muddy in winter, but still provides a challenging and more rugged hiking experience.”
“A nice, short wheelchair accessible hike around some ponds.”
“In terms of amenities, there are no water fountains or mobile restrooms visible on the trail, so be sure to bring along snacks and water to stay hydrated during your hike.”
