Confirmed from Woodlawn Union 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.

★★★★★ — Pamela , Oct 2019

A large sprawling park with an enjoyable disc golf course, several large open fields and some magnificent older trees. There are even some lesser-known walking trails in the woods to the North.

★★★★★ — Jonathan , Aug 2017

Nice place for an afternoon visit. Parking lot might be a little too big, but there is plenty of space for everyone. There are multiple pavilions for hosting parties, big and fun looking playgrounds for kids, restroom facilities, water, and walking paths.

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.
