Confirmed from Cluett Schantz Memorial 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.

Very nice park. Has many sections to play. They have a play area at the entrance of the park. Following it with a basketball court with a reasonable size. The park has a big lake in the center of the park. Where you can walk around it and enjoy the scene. There is gazebos to use - with benches and tables.

★★★★☆ — Yisus , Oct 2025

Such a cute little spot to walk around and have a nice picnic. The kids playground area looks like fun. They have a basketball court. Baseball field on top of the hill and a small trail in the woods.

A large park with so much to do, including playgrounds, ponds, walking paths, a pavilion and more! Great spot to take the kids or the dogs! The town hosts great events here!

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.
