Confirmed from Windmont 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.
Relaxed lakefront park featuring picnic tables, swings, kid-friendly play areas and sports courts.
What runners say about Windmont Park
“Nice trails and shelters good place for a little walk well maintained, and a natural prairie filled on the west side to walk-through also.”
“Always a fun place to go walking, taking absolutely beautiful pictures or simply clear your mind.”
This is simply a great park! I have enjoyed using the park during the past few months to take a nice walk around the lagoon. Of course, there are also many other things to do at this park. There is two playgrounds for the kids, an enclosed shelter and two open shelters.
Great park. I enjoy my walks here and bringing my boys up to play! Love the location.
I really enjoy this little park. In addition to the lake, walking trail, playground, and pavilion, there are lots of squirrels on most days when I pass through. I also really enjoy several dogs that are in a yard next to the drive when they can go out their doggie door on nice days.
Currently undergoing some construction. 2 small playgrounds (one muddy & one good). Nice short walk around the pond. Picnic shelters available (2). Ball field and plenty of parking. Friendly police officer was doing a walkthrough. 👍
