Confirmed from Woods Chapel 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.
Kid-friendly, recently redone park with swings, slides and basketball courts.
What runners say about Woods Chapel Park
“Quiet little park, not a whole lot to do there and no lights or bathroom available”
It's a great little park. The play equipment is clearly new and we'll maintained. The park itself is very clean. There's a nice little path through trees and around the pond. There's different play sets for different levels. The ground is nice and soft for when the kids inevitably trip and fall.
Great quiet small park. Nice walking trail. Playground equipment is old and needs upgrades. Basketball court is very nice.
Nice little patk with cool climbing features and a short walking trail that is paved so strollers are easy to push!
Great for walking and riding scooters and skateboards especially when trails are empty
