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.
Park, featuring a Ferris wheel, trails, and ball fields.
What runners say about Wheeler Park
Nice paved trails along river with views of Ferris wheel across the river. We walked under the overpass, which has dirt/mud nests made by birds attached up under the overhangs. They were unique to tourists like us. Sturdy pedestrian bridge on the path.
Beautiful well laid out potty spots for emergencies and lots of room to run:)
Really a nice park, they could definitely upgrade the actual playground tho. Nice views, very close to the river and walking trails.
Fun location and relaxing place to take some great photos and have a rest while riding along the river bike trails
