Confirmed from Woodmansee 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.
Outdoor activity space with a soccer field, disc golf & tennis courts, plus trails & a playground.
What runners say about Woodmansee Park
Nice park with a disc golf course, tennis courts, playground and basketball hoops. There are unpaved walking trails as well. Bathrooms are available. As of writing this review, this probably isn’t the safest park due to people camping in the parking lot.
Such a nice park tucked away in an unexpected location. It has a fun playground that is also handicap accessible, which is cool. There's a pretty, shallow little creek running through the park so it's very fun to explore with little ones. We will be sure to go back this summer to splash around on a hot day.
A great park in busy Salem! Tennis courts, pickle ball, basketball courts, a wall for racquet ball, tetherball poles, hop scotch, 4 square, soccer goals, restrooms, a playground, lots of green room to run and trails. A good amount of parking. A+
It is so beautiful at this park. There are trails to explore in a wooded area, a frisbee golf course, a basketball and tennis court. I even got pictures of two little bunnies resting in the shrubbery.
