Confirmed from Wright Family 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.
Picnic-friendly park featuring swings and a dock, with benches and a playground for kids.
What runners say about Wright Family Park
“Peaceful, clean, and worth a visit if you're in the area.”
“Beautiful park on the water with walking paths, tree swings, painted rock gardens, piers, public restrooms and parking, across from historic church and buildings.”
“Family friendly, even Fido is welcime.”
Absolutely beautiful. The grass area isn't huge, that being said there's plenty of room to walk around, sit in the sun, or sit in the shade under a tree. For a smaller park they really planned it well. The dock is where they really nailed it.
Beautiful park with painted rocks, a dock to walk out on, and wild black raspberry bushes that smell amazing. There are plenty of wooden benches to rest on and enjoy the ocean view and sounds of nature.
Just another extraordinarily nice park with a beautiful sunset view. The boardwalk is incredibly well-constructed, it’s fun to walk on. The swing is perfectly positioned for a great view and very supportive. The water is placid, and at night you can see dolphins breaching! It’s really something.
What to expect when visiting a park near the heart of Bluffton? Nothing short of fabulous. The grass is perfect for a picnic, and the space is great for a casual stroll or a small break while walking through Old Town Bluffton. The nearby church adds a beautiful, historic touch to the scenery.
