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.
This 28-acre space features jogging & hiking trails, a playground & an off-leash dog park.
What runners say about Wildwood Park
“One standout feature that no one will complain about is the clean fairways and rough.”
They've made a lot of changes since I was last here! The dog park is pleasant - the "big dog" side is larger and more interesting than the "small dog" side (more trees, some landscaping rocks, and some hills etc.), but both are easily accessible and enjoyable. The trail is wide, well maintained, and a loop of about 0.
This was a very beautiful, easy hike in Marietta. It’s right next to Life University, and there is a trail from here all the way to Al Burus Park, which is one way to make it a lot longer. Great place for jogging, but you may have to give it a few loops for it to be enough.
It's a nice little park! Granted, it's on a really long hill, but there is plenty of space of the doggos to run about and play. The best part is that it doesn't stay super wet right after it rains. It also has a nice walking trail that runs around the whole park. Overall, I would definately recommend stopping by.
DISC GOLF Pros: One might assume that with a small footprint and a city rec department focused on designing a course accessible to beginners and casual players, the result wouldn't be something that appeals to everyone, particularly more advanced players. Fortunately for everyone, the code was cracked.
