Confirmed from Allen & William Arnold City/School 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.

“Great place to walk the dog”

Great place for walking or jogging. Very clean and well maintained. Basketball court, children play area, and sprinkle water during summer. Well lighted and open to public. Dog friendly and has.several covered picnic areas with grills.

★★★★★ — Gwen , Mar 2024

Great park to visit. It actually was built not too long ago. Parking is rather limited but they do have handicap accessible parking. The lighting at night is very good and there doesn't seem to be any dark spots.

★★★★☆ — Louie , Jan 2023

Perfect for an evening walk/run. The kids love the fun it has to offer. Best park in the area, hands down.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
