Confirmed from Wheeler 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.
What runners say about Wheeler Park
“A beautiful park centered along the main boulevard going to the Bridge and Main Street.”
My kids and I have enjoyed this place for the past 20 years straight! Having moved here from a much higher elevation, it has often helped us to forget for a moment or two that we are in the middle of the desert.
A beautiful park centered along the main boulevard going to the Bridge and Main Street. Its grassy area and trees make it a perfect stop over if you plan on taking a rest while walking to the bridge. During Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, And other holidays it is decorated with flags to honor our troops.
Nice little park to include in a morning walk. It's just scenery here, nothing for the kids. Take the kids to Rotary and let them run around there.
Trail conditions & character
“We have played here, ridden our bikes on the winding paved trail all around the park, and more recently even taken the bikes to the skate park.”
“I was driving around last night and I decided to pull over and take some shots of the lights”
