Confirmed from Windsor 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.
Popular park featuring playgrounds, trails and a creek.
What runners say about Windsor Park
“Nice wooded park clean & well maintained, lots of playground equipment .”
“Quiet with lots of shade and a slow shallow little creek that the kids can play in.”
“I love how the park is serene and they have picnic tables to enjoy the fresh air while sipping coffee.”
Nice and small little park behind the shopping complex. Has a brand new set of swings with a Zipline has been fixed and works great!. The play structure is good for younger kids as well. There is also a walking trail that extends away from the park.
Great space to let your kid burn some energy. It's not huge, but it has several areas to play and run. Playground equipment for the younger ones, bigger stuff in the back. My smallest one calls it zipline park, because yes there is a zipline. She loves it, and enjoys playing with other children every time we stop.
Very cute little park. Quiet with lots of shade and a slow shallow little creek that the kids can play in. The play equipment was exciting and a good mix for different ages. Also there's a Zipline!
It may not look that exciting when u first arrive but when u start exploring the trails and the woods it's a fun experience for children family and friends! It's lots of wildlife to adventure!
