Confirmed from Wildwood Native 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.
River-adjacent park with hiking trails, a canoe launch and areas for fishing.

Great place to take pictures, have a little picnic, take a nature walk.
Very peaceful piece of land beautiful water stream.... Very small trail around the park, but if you explore and go under wet the bridge you'll find access to other trails that are off road. Very small park, security is on it they close at 7p and they mean 7pm, awesome place for photos
Getting access to water is a bit of a walk but it's worth it. There are nice walking trails and other things to do here as well. I wish it was open on more than just Friday through Sunday.
Great place to hike, bike, fish the river. Some really beautiful spots
