Confirmed from Wilson 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.
Neighborhood playcenter with multiple slides, plus a clean shelter house, rental option available for events.
What runners say about Wilson Park
“It's incredibly well kept, there are several slides and play options, and it's simply a great park.”
Fun playground for the kiddos. Multiple shelter houses available to reserve for a reasonable fee. Horseshoe pits next to the baseball field. Plenty of green space, some woods, and close to the Milwaukee trail. Other trails on the property as well.
Good spot to take kids and pets to escape the city in a very short distance. Trees and nature along the .7 mile trail, along with local community garden.
Trail conditions & character
“There are clean locking restrooms available and the people I've met while there have been friendly and kind.”
“Just a great hilly place to enjoy the outdoors.”
