Confirmed from Willeo 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.
Relaxing riverside boardwalk and river path with scenic spots and a playground.
What runners say about Willeo Park
“It’s well maintained and offers easy access to scenic trails.”
“Beautiful paved route along the river with wide paths enough for walkers, runners & bikers.”
“The wide trail has large sections that are shaded and cool as well as other sections that are out in the open with pleasant views of the Chattahoochee River.”
Got dropped off here & walked 3+ miles to Riverside Park. Beautiful paved route along the river with wide paths enough for walkers, runners & bikers. Definitely will return to bike.
Willeo Park is not a park but a small parking lot with spaces for fewer than a dozen cars. It is, however, a trailhead to the beautiful Roswell Riverwalk.
Very tranquil. They have installed a new boardwalk which gives you a long trail to walk or run on. Totally awesome!
Great boardwalk adjacent to the Chattahoochee River. There is limited parking and people also use this area to launch small boats. The boardwalk connects to the Chattahoochee nature center and allows you to get a lot of your daily steps in.
