Confirmed from Wilbur Square'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.

Beautiful spot for a simple picnic, read a book, or to just relax and enjoy the day. Lots of benches, garbage/recycling bins, and parking with room for the kids to run. Pet friendly with potty bags and a water station for your fur babies.

★★★★★ — Rene , Apr 2018

Well, my dog just loves this park, I love this park. We love sitting in the park under the shade from the wonderful trees. Grass is well kept. The community that comes to the park is friendly, laid-back, and good old Earthlings.

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.
