Confirmed from Conner 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 a fishing pond and trails, plus benches and picnic tables.
What runners say about Conner Park
“Some hilly trails, yet not too challenging, nicely maintained.”
“As an amateur photographer, there are some beautiful nature pictures and backdrops for potrait pictures (lighting would be helpful because of a lot of shade).”
“Quiet and beautiful despite its roadside location.”
Excellent mile an a half! A park playground area for the kids. A nice size lake for fishing which is also a beautiful site to see!!! If the trail was 3+ miles this would be a perfect spot for all types of trail hunters. I recommend this trial for first time, beginners and out of shape folks.
First, there is no bathroom or drinking fountain in the park at all, so come prepared. There are tables for a picnic, but also quite a bit of bugs, so you can decide if it is worth it. Second, I know I did a review 2 years ago, but I find after reading some other reviews that I need to correct some misinformation.
Some hilly trails, yet not too challenging, nicely maintained. Pretty pond. Long sturdy picnic tables.
Quiet and beautiful despite its roadside location. One of my favorite places to walk my dogs or drink a beer. Fond memories of this place.
