Confirmed from Woodgate 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.
Quiet, park featuring swings and slides for children, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Woodgate Park
“Beautiful neighborhood park, with well maintained landscaping, playground equipment and walking paths!”
“The park is quiet and pretty clean surrounded by beautiful homes in a nice area.”
I like this place because its easy to access, is roomy and has multiple parks in the same area. I do wish there were actual bathrooms, but I'm lucky enough to be able to walk home if i need to use the bathroom. Lots of tables and a pavillion. But, don't forget your bug spray!
It's nice and peaceful, especially in the summer. It's great for walks and exercises. Maybe you'll meet a new friend and the two of you could become walking buddies. All in all, it's a nice park.
