Confirmed from Campus 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 4 mentions

“It's a beautiful place and a very large shelter area.”

The Village of Mt Pleasant has created a fantastic family activities space. Music band shell, splash pad, softball fields, tennis and pickle ball courts, walking paths and plenty of extra space to have large and small gatherings. Check it out.

★★★★★ — Liz , Sep 2024

We love taking our dog on the walking trails. Love the trail that goes to Smolenski Park it has the feeling of being up north. We actually use the trails several times a week.

★★★★★ — Terri , Dec 2023

Great place to spend with family and friends. Clean, open space, and lots to do. Trails, basketball, pickleball, cricket, swings, baseball etc.

★★★★★ — Waleed , Jul 2024

Beautiful playground..I love that it's across from the sealed air YMCA. The surrounding area of the park is yet to be finished, since they are planning to create a nice pathway, baseball fields, and among other things. UPDATE: Wow, all the new construction updates have made this park even more breath taking.

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.
