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.
Modest park featuring shaded playground equipment, several picnic tables & restrooms.
What runners say about Wildwood Park
“Lots of shade which is a HUGE plus!”
It's a little run down but there a playground, parking, bathrooms, etc. Really close to the main Street so I would not bring younger kids.
Beautiful little park. My 3 kids had a blast here. Lots of shade which is a HUGE plus!
