Confirmed from Canton Township Community 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 outdoor haven featuring baseball and softball fields, a playground and basketball hoops.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“Not much here anymore unless you are attending a baseball game except for peace and quiet.”

Nice little park that used to be a go too before Walker Elementary School was torn down. Not much here anymore unless you are attending a baseball game except for peace and quiet. I need that from time to time so I still drive by and park for a half hour or so and just gather what's left of my thoughts for the day.

★★★★★ — Andrew , Dec 2022

Cool little playground with space to run around and things for kids to climb on.

★★★★★ — Rafael , May 2023

Great park next to walker elementary school. Has tons of stuff to play on for the 5-12 year olds and stuff to play on for the 2-5 years too. Overall, a good experience in a quiet area.

★★★★★ — Dustin , Apr 2018

Nice baseball fields, a basketball court, playground, and a 0.6Mi walking path. Several porta-johns which are reasonable well-kept.

★★★★☆ — Derek , Jun 2019

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.
