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
We just needed a place to walk the dogs during our travels for a quick minute. It was very cold so we didn't want to be out too long. Trail is paved and short, wasn't cleared of snow, but was passable. Dogs (coonhound and GS) didn't care....😆
Very nice little park for a walk or to blow off some steam during a road trip. The trees are lovely but there are flower beds that seem to have been ignored for a few years... There is an ADA porta potty which was in decent shape for use.

“Trail is paved and short, wasn't cleared of snow, but was passable.”
