Confirmed from Woodway 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.
City park featuring a disc-golf course, 2 pavilions with BBQ grills, a playground & lake views.
What runners say about Woodway Park
“Everything is green, all grass areas are manicure , very clean park, great hiking and mountain bike trails, best of all the sunsets from this park are amazing !”
“Gorgeous park, great views of the lake, playground on the hill, lots of parking, places for a picnic, and a disc golf course.”
“I loved this place, very spacious and peaceful, suitable for relaxation and for family to enjoy their time.”
Excellent park! We came for the Total Solar Eclipse and had a wonderful time! The park is beautiful! My kids had so much to do and had so much fun. The Park was full of car's but we still had plenty of space to run around and play. The park organizer gave out little toys and Frisbee making it even better.
Great mountain bike / hiking trails nestled in this little park. The trails are short and it's difficult to get a ton of miles in but, they are really nice. Very scenic with the lake right there.
Well preserved community park located on the outskirts of the Waco. Ample parking space with wheelchair accessible parking available next to the shore. The entrance and the route is marked with one-way so ensure you enter/exit in the correct path. Good place to relax and take your dog for a walk.
Good park plenty of events. I go for the bike trails, lines are well covered (trees) and declines can get fast and the climbs are a workout so be ready to give your best. All and all I gave 4 stars. (Not for the faint of heart)
