Confirmed from William F. Maule Park at Windlestrae'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.
Park featuring walking & jogging trails, plus a playground, a pavilion & sports facilities.
What runners say about William F. Maule Park at Windlestrae
“It is very beautiful, well-maintained and clean.”
“Beautiful park with lots of sports fields and a well sized playground.”
“Love taking the pup for a run through the wood trails”
“Although, Windlestrae Park is very nice and quiet.”
I thought the park was more for athletic use. But there are trails around the athletic fields and further out. There’s a grassy field with mowed paths for zig zag walks or playing games, There’s a wide grassy path along the creek with round white markers on poles to follow, A path and bridge at the end of parking lot…
I like this park because is one of the few with public tennis court inside Montgomery Township, Pennsylvania. Windlestrae Park has also, baseball fields for little leagues, soccer fields, as well basketball courts. And a couple of new hiking/biking shaded trails running into the wooded area. Open all year run.
