Confirmed from Wildwood 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.
New park offering kayaking, trails and boating, plus playground equipment.
What runners say about Wildwood Park
“Clean, safe, wonderful outdoor time spent with grandchildren or alone on a nature walk.”
“Great views by the water also, & the playground is nice.”
“It’s incredibly dog and bike-friendly, and the natural beauty and views here are just fantastic.”
I love this park. Can be buggy at times but I enjoy the hiking trails. Can't wait until they complete the new trails, definitely going to be great. Nice play area for the little ones.
I've visited this park a few times. It's a great place to walk, run, fish, kayak, or, in my case, birdwatch. There is a picnic area and three large covered shelters, but at this time, only one has a finished concrete floor. It's a nice place to come alone or bring family and friends.
Two playgrounds. The big kid’s slides are really high. The posts are fake tree trunks and some of the climbing steps are leaves. It is brand new equipment. The toddler playground is fun and safe. We especially enjoyed the Astro turf covered “hill”. It’s great for a new walker who is building balance and leg strength.
Love this park :) you can bring your own kayak, or rent one! Great walking path. Great family area and field for kids to play. Great for photos. Great biking trails!
