About Whittington Trail

This flat gravel loop circles Whittington Park, with a surface that suits joggers and walkers alike. Benches with backs are spaced around the park, so there's a spot to rest along the way. Water is available across the street at the Whittington Spring jug station, though the park has no restrooms. Mountain Top Trail links the park to the West Mountain trails for anyone wanting a longer outing.
