Confirmed from Wilborn 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“It was peaceful and a great place to walk around, dog friendly too!”

A really nice park just a short walk from downtown La Grange. There is a playground and a covered picnic area which would be a nice place to hold an outdoor party. There are two lakes. There was someone there fishing when we visited. There were lots of Canadian geese and even one duck swimming about.

This was my first time here. It is a lovely little park. Nice pavilion, well maintained playground. I enjoyed the walk around the pond. The long bridge offered a surprise sensation of movement even though it is quite stable. I wish more neighborhoods offered this kind of open space for families to enjoy.

Small park with covered picnic tables nearby. There is a gravel walking area around one of the ponds. The road around the park is one way and makes a nice walking route.

★★★★★ — Trina , Apr 2021

This is a very nice family friendly park!!! The city parks and recreation seem to be doing a very good job keeping up the maintenance and upkeep on this park, they do a very good job, and seem to be working very hard on keeping this park looking really nice!!!

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.
