Confirmed from Winter's 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, many say, featuring a playground with swings and slides, plus a pond with ducks and geese.
What runners say about Winter's Park
“It would be even better if the town would keep it clean.”
“I occasionally bring a chair there to read on the lawn overlooking the scenic covered bridge and pond.”
“There's plenty of seating around the pond, some of it shaded and there's plenty of parking on the lower side of the pond (in addition to the parking near the playground).”
“It's peaceful despite being on a significant road and having an abundance of overhead powerlines as a key part of the view.”
Such a great park for the little ones Bd older folks alike. Great place to bring the grandchildren. Plenty of both sun and shade. No grilling but plenty of picnic tables to sit and enjoy sandwiches and snacks. Swings, slides, cars , spinning all kinds of things to climb on. Swing area completely fenced in for safety.
Have come here multiple times to enjoy the views of the pond. It's peaceful despite being on a significant road and having an abundance of overhead powerlines as a key part of the view.
Clean and fun park. Has cute interesting and different playground equipment. There are plenty of benches and a few picnic table for parent seating. There is also a large porta-potty. There's also a cute walking path by a pond with a covered bridge.
July 2023 Ah easy to miss park. If you're driving down the hill, look for the two pillars made of rock for the entrance. It will look like the entrance to an old house. 🏠 Once inside you'll be able to park right by the fenced in playground with slides and swings. This is great for parents.
