Confirmed from Wilkinson Farm 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.
16-acre park featuring dog-friendly trails amid woods & meadows & a garden for community use.
What runners say about Wilkinson Farm Park
“A small, unpaved parking lot, a couple picnic benches, and a (usually clean) portable toilet are pretty much the only improvements.”
“That being said, there is a beautiful forested area behind the garden that feels like a magical grove of trees.”
“Nicely maintained flat walking trail appropriate for all levels of hikers.”
“It's dog friendly and has clean outhouses.”
Great little park, with community garden, lovely meadows, and short walking trail. Though it clearly marked as not-so, people consistently continue to use this as an off-lead dog park, so beware!
Beautiful park for a walk/picnic/enjoying nature!! Has some trails with hidden meadows for families and young kiddos to play at! Has a handicapped accessible portapotty. Some park benches near the entrance. Gravel area for parking. Beautiful lil wetland/meadow hangout! Will be bringing my family back here again!
Quaint little park that is always so nice and calm. Great place for picnics or just walks in the woods, can’t recommend coming in fall enough!!
Super chill park, off one of Gig Harbor's busiest roads (Rosedale Street). A small, unpaved parking lot, a couple picnic benches, and a (usually clean) portable toilet are pretty much the only improvements. But it's the perfect place to have a picnic, play with your dog, or stroll around.
