Confirmed from AJ Henry 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.
Shaded, family-friendly park featuring trails around a lake and a pond.

Great place for kids' turtle viewing, playing and walking along the woods trails. Beautiful old growth trees in a nice preserve surrounded by a growing city.
My go to neighborhood park for my morning walks. Anytime I have seen an issue, trees down on trail, graffiti etc emailing the park gets quick responses. Just wish the water was higher and less heavy shoreline vegetation.
Some of the most beautiful Live Oak trees, you will ever see lots of trails. Walking. Dog friendly along with horse trails.
We enjoy waking the trails, playing on the playground and feeding the turtles at this hidden gem in Killearn. Nice open green space and covered pavilions, as well bathrooms.
