Confirmed from Woodglen Vista 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.
What runners say about Woodglen Vista Park
“The shade trees help keep the park cool and welcoming, and the gazebos are nice for parties or rest stops after a nice walk.”
We go here for the amazing dog park. It's fully fenced in and plenty of running room. There are also lots of place for shade and chairs!
Nicest Dog park around, always has plenty of dogs to run with, near by water sources, kids playground, restrooms, people are fairly respectful with tending to cleanliness , benches and chairs for sitting laying , lots of tennis balls, shade, dirt and grass. Love it.
It's been several years since I've been to this park, and I was pleasantly surprised at the upgrades and upkeep they've made over the years! The shade trees help keep the park cool and welcoming, and the gazebos are nice for parties or rest stops after a nice walk.
