Confirmed from Whitehall Community 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 Whitehall Community Park
This is a large park with many things to do. Also the Whitehall YMCA is located here. The park has paved walking/bike paths, disc golf course, shelter houses, playground and if you go to the lower part of the park, there are walking trails both paved and grass that you can take around and through a field of prairie…
This is my favorite local disc golf course. If you go there you very well may run into me. SAY HELLO
