Confirmed from Wolcott 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.
Playground, BBQ grills & areas for sports/games such as baseball, tennis, horseshoes & bocce.
What runners say about Wolcott Park
“Eatontown has fine a great job of keeping Wolcott Park neat, clean, and well maintained despite its frequent use by residents.”
“It's really nice and quiet!”
Small and decent park with baseball fields, a pavillion, and a small and stinky bathroom (hah). It also has a nice walking path, a kids jungle gym, a few basketball courts, some tennis courts, and even a wall to play a bit of racquetball on.
