Confirmed from C. Lee Kenagy 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

My kids loved playing on the skateboarding ramps here, using them as slides, even our dog loved it. Lol They have changed the center playground some, taking out the large spider web net I noticed. They have 2 smaller playground sets also on the property & bathrooms, tennis courts, grills available to use too.

Super underrated park with a little bit of everything. There's a park for smaller ones, there's a skate park that perfect for beginners an bike riders, there's also a trail around a small lake, they have restrooms an water fountains an a basketball court as well.

I love the walking trails at this park. They meander and there are several places to rest on a bench along the way. There is a heavenly forested Creek area and in a way it feels like you're walking in the woods. The paths are well maintained. I don't have pets however, I see people with their dogs on a leash.

Nice clean and friendly Park. they have two really big pavilions fourth at family reunions or birthday party. Nice tennis courts and a huge pond in the middle you can even fish from. They even offer movie nights for kids during the summer they also have a huge baseball field.

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.
