Confirmed from Blaine O'Neal 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.

“Well maintained play ground for the kids but the baseball diamond needs quite a bit of work.”

Well maintained play ground for the kids but the baseball diamond needs quite a bit of work. There is also a nice walking path around the large pond behind the diamond. Makes a good spot to spot by with the little kids while out running errands.

★★★★☆ — Edward , Sep 2021

This Park is a great place for a morning walk!! I've been walking around the lake everyday for weeks now, and I've really enjoy it. However, the path around the lake desperately needs some attention (smoothed out).

★★★★☆ — April , Jul 2018

The path around the lake is a great place to get a cardio workout in especially if you have some knee issues.

★★★★★ — Erik , Aug 2019

Peaceful local park with ballfield, restrooms, and walking path that goes around a pond.

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.
