Confirmed from Criswell 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.
Playground with slides and swings, plus a baseball field, as well as a disc golf course.
What runners say about Criswell Park
I have been looking for a place close to home to walk. Never knew there was this pretty little walking path here.
Trail conditions & character
“Plenty of parking, and having covered bleachers was really great to protect you from the sun and the rain.”
“The only issues are parking and the restrooms are usually pretty gross.”
“The covered arena has poured concrete flooring and no longer used for horses.”
“4 new outdoor pickleball courts with lights.”

The practical stuff

- SurfacePaved — asphalt or concrete. Fast and predictable, runnable year-round, and fine with a stroller
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
