Confirmed from Wonderwood 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.
Big park featuring paved paths through the woods, picnic areas & a variety of athletic fields.

I came here to take my dog for a walk along with my sister and her dog. It’s really nice because they have a paved trail with a lot of beautiful trees and plenty of places to stop at admire the beauty. There is also a tennis court in a basketball court to play in as well.
Wonderful park, I liked the paved walking trail it's 0.6 of a mile so it was easy to get in my steps. My child liked the playgroun and basketball court is located in the shade. There is a cute little toddler playground at the northwest side, the restrooms aren't open there though.
Wow! What a beautiful clean park. Nice walking trails, ball field and little play ground. Some nice size picnic areas too. Clean restrooms are always a plus and they were clean.
I think this park is a great scale for kids and families/groups. Great visibility, open areas shaped like a horseshoe kind of. Not a long paved trail skirts the fields but you can add on the woodsy side trails for a little lite adventure (impossible to get lost here).
