Confirmed from Woodlot 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.
Green space housing playgrounds & picnic areas, plus ball fields, tennis/basketball courts & trails.
What runners say about Woodlot Park
The complex is maintained and safe for a great walk through the paths and trails. The parking lot is long overdue for leveling, mill & overlay. Since this is the Rec department’s site it appears resources are available in the building, check Rec department reviews.
Nice location.. right next to route 1 and very close to other places - like Taco Bell etc . Very close to a lot of residential neighborhoods. Nice locality overall and lots of space around . I was surprised that there were 2-3 food trails here . I didn’t expect a trail here :) Trail path was good .
Decent little park, standard amenities like a playground, baseball diamond, and some walking trails. I go here to play tennis but the courts could use some repair. Other than that, lots of festivals and events are held here so there's usually things to do on the weekend
Nice neighborhood park with play area, small picnic grove, shed, bike trail, hiking trail, tennis, baseball and basketball court, open field. There is a nice hill bank and during snow it becomes a magical snow sledding place for kids.
