Confirmed from Countryside 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.
What runners say about Countryside park.
“The covered foot bridge, water fall, and easy to follow trails make this park special.”
A lovely little spot for picnics, fishing and relaxing. The covered foot bridge, water fall, and easy to follow trails make this park special. There are benches for a peaceful sitting near the ponds. Kudos to all who keep the cabin and grounds cared for so beautifully.
A nice, very clean / dog friendly little park with walkin' trails and a covered bridge too! Trails are clearly marked w/tags. There's a clubhouse (that you can rent) with a back deck & picnic tables for family outings.
Cute little park with a covered bridge! A nice place to have lunch or take a short walk if you're in the area.
My favorite park, always nice and home to a good amount of critters. A nice walk!
