Confirmed from Calhoun 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.
Clean, fun, family-friendly park featuring baseball fields, a playground and picnic shelters, plus trails.
What runners say about Calhoun Park
“Nice clean restrooms and overhead covered picnic tables.”
“The park is very family friendly.”
Nice short trails, good pleasant trails with some hills for good light workout. Nice area for a date. Kids play ground near the parking.
Suburban park with baseball and soccer fields. Picnic area. Fishing pond. Hiking trails with moderate difficulty and excellent for cross country running. Ample parking and restrooms. One word of caution, there is a tornado siren at the top of the hill which is tested weekly at exactly 10 am on Thursdays.
Nice park. Easy parking, playground, and flush potties. Water to fish in or walk by, baseball and basketball. We went on a rainy day and it was quiet. There were LARPers running around on the other side of the water and my kid enjoyed seeing their costumes.
The playgrounds are great and we hiked the trail, if you are a light hiker this trail is very steep uphill and then steep downhill so if either of those are difficult for you I wouldn’t suggest this hike but otherwise it was very nice.
