The Wildwood trails are groomed for classic and skate. In recent years walking trails have been added to encourage physical activity in a variety of ways, and signage was added. Three main entrance sites are available:
Starting points include the corner of the Wildewood Golf Course (North Drive at Netley), with a good parking area next to the Tennis Club.
The corner of Netley and Oakenwald, with some on street parking at Netley and Oakenwald.
The corner of Oakenwald and North Drive, close to the Wildwood Park Community Centre, with on street parking.
The ski trails are tracked by CCSAM, and costs are covered by the Wildwood Community Centre through donations and a contribution from St. John’s Ravenscourt school.
Envelopes are available at the various entry points for people to make additional donations to help defray the grooming costs. Trail grooming costs ~$3500 every season.
Donations can be made out to the Wildwood Park Community Club, and an income tax receipt will be sent out for the supporting gift.
Contact Harvey Peltz hpeltz@mymts.net for more information.We thank walkers (and their dogs) for using the walking trails which are signed. Walking on ski trails (both the tracks and the packed areas) damages them. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Wildwood Community Centre 19 hours, 59 minutes agoWent out last night and the trail is in pretty rough shape, most likely due to the city removal of Dutch Elm diseased trees and appeared as no grooming in some time due to that disruption. The Ravenscourt loop was the best of the trail but it was pretty soft and blown out in several spots. Hopefully will be back in ship shape soon, love this trail!

Wildwood Community Centre 1 week, 1 day agoWildwood was groomed today, Jan 24 in the am, but by around 3pm the tracks were fairly sloppy, snow very not firm, and had seen a lot of use on the stretch closest to Oakenwald. The city of Winnipeg tree removal has impacted the trails in that they have plowed areas that cut across the tracks at a number of points – have to navigate over 4 foot…[Read more]

Wildwood Community Centre 2 months, 1 week agoNicely skier tracked for classic and pretty fast this morning. Very pleased that walkers have their own pathways and the skier track is mostly free of footprints. Great place for an in-town ski!

Wildwood Community Centre 9 months, 3 weeks agoIt was a brilliant ski today, my first time at Wildwood. I am told that the skier groomed trails do not follow the usual routes, but I did not get lost. Good times, and the snow was fine!

Wildwood Community Centre 10 months, 2 weeks agoThe classic trails are really soft and pole plants can sink up to 18″ in sunny spots. Water is accumulating in low areas but not a problem yet. Need the temps to drop below 0 at night.
