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.

Such a cute park to take a walk, there are signs with the names of some of the different trees on it.

This is a very pleasant place to walk your dog, and enjoy the trees which are tagged with info.

★★★★☆ — Tammie , Jun 2023

Lovely walking space! Lovely benches, lovely paths and lovely shaded area!

★★★★☆ — Agariomember , Oct 2019

There's still great peeps in Poulsbo from every walk, lovin' it. From the Grand man of the seagulls mastering their lunch , to the three Poodle group, that may have just stood the work of behaving at the salon, we let loose, my chis surrounded by freedom and fun, at a park we had never guessed a half hour could…

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 6 mentions

“It's very much a nice little spot to eat some food with friends, play with your dog or kids, and the tables are at an optimum seperation length for proper social distancing.”
