Confirmed from Dallas City 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.

“I'm so happy :) The dog park Area looks new and it not quiet finished but all fenced in so dogs can run around.”

Dog park is awesome! Tons of room to run around. Small and large dog sides. There's a walking path around both enclosures. A few agility pieces for dogs, plenty of water to drink and a fountain to play in! Seems well maintained. Portapotty for a restroom. Kids playground area, picnic tables.

I've lived in dallas over 2yrs, the whole time driving to kennesaw to get to a dog park. This park has a dog park! What? I'm so happy :) The dog park Area looks new and it not quiet finished but all fenced in so dogs can run around. Just no water fountains or lights yet.

★★★★★ — Lonnellrose , Dec 2014

I love to watch my dog run with the big dogs. Play with the little dogs jump bark and drink water too!

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.
