Walnut Park

Love this tiny park. Has a padded running track in excellent shape.
Parking is only for 3 cars. No a lot of people there so it’s very relaxing exercise there

Nice, quiet, very green, lovely smell from the old oak trees. A lot of birds singing in the trees. Wish there were toilets though… Water fountain is located between the two playgrounds

Very basic park that’s tucked away in a residential area. It has two small playgrounds, a gazebo, and a VERY small pavilion area with a few tables. The fabulous thing about this park is the jogging track. It’s a soft asphalt track that’s great for walking or jogging. If you don’t like gravel tracks this is a great park to get your morning jog or evening walk on.

Really nice
Well Shaded
Calming
& relaxing
There’s a nice running/​walking track also
But don’t go alone after dark because a lot of the area is covered by trees

Hmmm, I seem to be a fan of the parks lately. Which isn’t a bad thing! Webster has some really nice parks; I wish I had realized that sooner, but now that I am running more, and looking for different places to run during my longer runs, I have stumbled across this little hidden gem.
I always knew it was here, and we actually stopped by here one year around Christmas time as they decorate the little gazebo with white lights. It’s very pretty, and very romantic, but after that time I sorta forgot it was here.
Yesterday though I was on a long run and decided to see if this park has a running trail. And it does! It’s only ¼ of a mile but a lot of it is shady (nice!) and I love the surface! It’s not gravel like Texas Avenue and it’s softer than asphalt. It feels like the surface that’s on an actual track. And bonus, there’s NOBODY here. If you want a quiet, solitary run, come here! There was one lady and her young child at the playground area and as I was leaving another runner came along. That’s it. Maybe it gets busier later, or at different time, I don’t know.
Now granted, this is a small park. No bathrooms, no water fountains, and just a couple little playground areas. But lots of picnic tables and benches and the nice gazebo, and of course the little track.
But for a nice little quiet run in a nice little quiet neighborhood, this is the place to be! I know I will be back!
