Confirmed from Burnt Hickory 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.
County park with meeting rooms, baseball fields, tennis & racquetball courts & a playground.
What runners say about Burnt Hickory Park
“Their bathrooms are usually pretty clean, however it'd be nice to have another light in the women's bathroom.”
“Very large and gorgeous rentable event space that looks like a modern cabin.”
Love coming to this park. They recently re-did the padding around the playground. Their bathrooms are usually pretty clean, however it'd be nice to have another light in the women's bathroom. There's lots of space for kids to run around or play other games and they have a nice covering for the picnic area.
It is very peaceful and pretty. I do wish they had some trails to hike.
