Confirmed from Aspen Grove 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.
Forested park offering a creekside loop trail, children's playground & picnic pavilion on 14 acres.

Going to this park is a time for me to refresh my thoughts & enjoy a nice nature walk on an even pavement. Other Walkers are respectful & Just there to enjoy themselves as well. The walk is filled with plants, flower, & trues for the eyes to see.
Very clean a cozy. Playground and picnic area is near so you can easily have a picnic with kids and enjoy outdoors. Trails is a very well maintained. There were a lot of fish in the river that we watched for a while on the bridge and while walking on the trail you can spot a lot different kinds of birds.
