Confirmed from Wood Hollow Metro 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.
Relaxed locale offering boardwalks, a pond, trails and a shelter.
What runners say about Wood Hollow Metro Park
“Great boardwalks over wetlands and well-maintained dirt trails in the woods.”
Nice little trail that is secluded. Almost the entire trail is boarded which will keep your feet clean. Nice grassy area for dogs to run or kids to play. Close to a major road so the entire trail is tainted a bit by noise. Not a difficult trail at all. Great for a lunch break walk.
Great trail. Fairly flat and mostly under the trees. You do have to be careful if the boardwalks are wet. They become extremely slick. The pond and dock area is very nice to sit and relax. There are nice restrooms and a shelter house as well.
Great condition, just a very mid park. Mostly a boardwalk and very minimal elevation change.
In the proper seasons, you can hear the bird calls and sounds. You feel like you are in the woods along a boardwalk trail with some parts that are dirt/grassy. This park also has a shelter and BBQ grills.
