Confirmed from Whitley 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.
Shady space featuring slides and swings for kids, plus tennis courts.
What runners say about Whitley Park
“Ours had a blast and the equipment, grounds and restrooms were very clean and well maintained.”
“Nice little park with lots of shade which is a plus in the summer time”
“This park is not the world's greatest park, but it is a nice little peaceful spot.”
This park is not the world's greatest park, but it is a nice little peaceful spot. People play tennis here, there is a large gazebo, a restroom, and some parking. There is a swimming pool, also, but it hasn't been open since I've been visiting this park. There is a larger park about a half a mile away from this one.
My new lunch time spot for some time in nature and sun basking! Cute and cozy. 2 playgrounds, Tennis court, clean bathroom and walking path. Very peaceful
Nice park, tucked away on a quiet street. One area for smaller kids, another for bigger, more adventurous kids. Plenty of open area for running around.
