Confirmed from Whitney Commons 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.

“It has beautiful walking paths, a garden, a historical cabin, a meditative labryinth, a playground, a splash pad, some beautiful art installations and more.”

Quaint little park. Good for walking dogs (everyone picks up after their animals). There are ground-level water fountains for the kids to play in. There's tons of grassy area space for families to play sports.

★★★★★ — Gary , May 2024

One of the prettiest parks in Wyoming. It has beautiful walking paths, a garden, a historical cabin, a meditative labryinth, a playground, a splash pad, some beautiful art installations and more. Spent the evening on a trip walking around it and learning about the Sheridan area.

★★★★★ — Ceejay , Aug 2021

Such a clean, well maintained park! It's a definite asset to the beautiful city of Sheridan. The people can really take pride in it. It's a wonderful place to walk your puppy, meet friends, have a picnic or take the children for safe and enjoyable playtime. A real plus for Sheridan and it's citizens.

★★★★★ — Pamela , Feb 2023

Large park. Free Wi-Fi coverage. Covered Gazebo. Water fountain for kids. Concrete walking paths with benches to rest. Play ground set for kids. Dog Stations with free bags. Very, very well lit at night. Huge amount of vehicle parking. Across from Library and Kendrick Park.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
