Confirmed from Wildflower 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.
Residential recreation area with 2 playgrounds & a basketball court, plus a sports field with track.

Very nice shaded and well kept park/playground! This playground was very nice and shaded. The walking trail was also pretty shaded and flat. They even had water bowls for pets and a stand for the bowl for taller dogs. I also liked that there were bathrooms.
Nice little park for walking and getting outdoors. They improved on the parking to accommodate more people. The park has a nice playground for kids too. If you love baseball and look for a place to practice the park has an area in the middle of the walking track for practice.
Very pleasant park. We tried this park out today on a whim and were very impressed with it. There is a standard play area at the top of the hill with a neat trail through the woods. Down the hill past the new parking spots is a big grassy area for sports.
This park is perfect for our toddler. It has never been crowded when we’ve visited, the playground is in the shade, and there are lots of different things to play on. You have to walk a little ways to the bathroom but it has always been very clean so I can’t complain.
