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.
Tranquil, wooded neighborhood park featuring a creek & paved walking paths.
What runners say about Wildwood Park
“We got to explore the beautiful trails in this park.”
“Wildwood is a great distraction while running on the trail.”
“Since the park is hidden from the main streets of Vienna it's a great quiet place to meetup with a friend.”
Little did we know of this hidden gem. We got to explore the beautiful trails in this park. We started on wo&d at vienna community centre towards West, 0.5 mile walk on the trail, found a way to this park. We thought it was just a small walk way. But it’s not. The trail was almost 0.
This is a nice narrow trail between homes and some natural area along a creek. It is great for residence but not recommended making a trip out to this park, or you might be disappointed. I was in the area and decided to stop by. I didn't find parking, at least not legally.
Lovely, easy walk among trees and nature. Got to see deers, foxes and lots of birds and squirrels. It has a beautiful Woodbridge too. Even though is very walkable I didn’t understand the path logistics. No designated parking.
The hidden gem to this park is the Little Free Native Seed Library located less than a block from the entrance near corner on Follin Lane and Alma St SE. The seed library is on Follin Lane along with native plants gracing the hellscape and a hidden fairy garden.
