Woodlawn trails are level and easy walking. There are just over two miles of looping forest trails and a further one mile of mowed paths around both the North and East hay fields.

Families have been sledding on the front lawn for nearly 100 years. We offer a sled library for those who may be visiting and don't have a sled! If there is snow, there is sledding at Woodlawn.

The small pond has been a skating spot for many years and we keep it cleared when the ice is safe. Watch for signs on Facebook and in the parking lot that indicate if the pond is open for skating.
