Confirmed from Centennial 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.
Park offering 14 miles of hiking paths (some overgrown) as well as mountain-bike trails and cyclo-cross courses.

Pretty cool new mountain bike bike park for the public to enjoy some wonderful trail and you can run or walk around 🙂 Also there's three entry points two of which are directly off Old Farmington road one for motor vehicles and another just passed the other that indicates Dead End however it leads to a No Motor vehicle…
Love the trail system. I prefer it over anything else in NWA after the addition of the world cup trails
