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.

What runners say about Woodlawn Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (251 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

For jogging, cycling, running and walking in the park, even for dog walkers, additional to that, we can have good family time. Greenery blessing in the lap of nature...

★★★★☆ — Samjhana , Sep 2022

I love this park because it's close to my school. When I'm struggling with writing papers or feeling overwhelmed by academic pressure, I walk there to relax. It's actually a disc golf park, so it has very large lawns.

★★★★★ — Louie , Feb 2026

Woodlawn Park in Moorhead is a beautiful park. It has a very nice Frisbee Golf course, small playground, picnic shelter with handful of tables, a very well kept basketball court, paved paths, open grass areas and plenty of mature trees. It is a great escape from city life.

★★★★★ — David , Oct 2024

Great park to walk the dog, or play frisbee golf. A children's playground, a basketball court, and covered picnic tables can also be found at Woodland Park.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
