Confirmed from Woodlawn 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 featuring swings and slides, plus picnic tables and workout equipment.
What runners say about Woodlawn Park
“Nice and clean not a lot of people quite”
“Children of all abilities can enjoy the park here.”
We stopped at the park as a pit stop for the children to take a break from a long travel and the park made for a decent stop. The upkeep of the park was pleasantly noticeable and did not give the feeling of neglect. Not a big park but a good one. The park has some covered seating which is a good stop for a bite to eat.
Nice and clean park! My kids love it! Evening time is the best time to come if you want your kids to be around more kids. However, my kids like to go when the sun is high in the sky! Ha! Nice path around playground for parents to walk! No parking lot! Only thing I suggest is more shaded areas.
Visiting from TX 12/11/25. Great and quiet park. Well maintained. Street parking. Has a paved trail that encompasses the playground where parents can walk or kids can ride their bikes (as did we). Covered picnic tables. Exercise equipment. Swings for all ages and abilities. Unique and fun toys.
Nice place to take the kids for a playground. Swings, slides and a merry-go-round. Also has a walking/jogging path.
Trail conditions & character
“It would be higher if there were a few shade trees and I don't recall access to a restroom.”
