Confirmed from Wittkop 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.
Park featuring playgrounds, jogging paths & restrooms, plus basketball & racquetball courts.
What runners say about Wittkop Park
“Clean place with alot of shade with basketball place running field and two kids park .”
“Clean place with alot of shade with basketball place running field and two kids park .”
A nice park for the kids and to walk around the fenced in area. The grounds are well maintained but the playsets could use a good pressure washing. There are two playsets which is great for different age groups. Both playsets has a fence around them.
Clean place with alot of shade with basketball place running field and two kids park ..one for the toddlers and another for the bigger kids...also around 5 to 6 ice cream man comes.....
During weekdays its empty so its great for running. It also has a pretty landscape.
