Confirmed from Wilshire 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.
What runners say about Wilshire Park
“Shaded, plenty of space for roaming but also a nice little trail to entertain young children with a bike, stroller or walking.”
“Very nice city park with half mile paved walking path, that literally goes over the creek and thru the woods in a peaceful neighborhood.”
Very nice city park with half mile paved walking path, that literally goes over the creek and thru the woods in a peaceful neighborhood.
Peaceful park with picnic tables, a potty, playground, small paved walking trail, and lots of shade. The equipment was unique and a couple of pieces accessible for multiple abilities. Great little gem tucked in the middle of liberty.
Great simple park. Not new by any means, but it has loads of shade trees. On a warm/hot sunny afternoon, we only saw patches of sun in the park (high 80's with humidity, felt quite comfortable with the shade).
This place was perfect while we waited on dad at practice. Shaded, plenty of space for roaming but also a nice little trail to entertain young children with a bike, stroller or walking.
