Confirmed from Wild Acres 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.
2.5-acre park featuring a spring-fed lake with fishing, walking trails & a wilderness refuge.
What runners say about Wild Acres Park
“Great Park for walking and getting fresh air and beautiful views”
Great park for walking. The trail has hills and is a decent size. The view is beautiful.
This was a very pretty little park with a nice walking trail and a lovely pond. It was about 20 minutes walk all the way around.
Took my daughter here at the end of our field trip to relax and enjoy moments of mindfulness. We did some core exercises and a little walking as well. Nice experience.
My husband and I had a great time walking around this park. There were places to sit, and facilities if you needed them.
