Confirmed from Davies Plantation 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“And it's quiet usually, so it's somewhat relaxing for the parents too.”

I love it This is the best park I have ever went to so if you are look for a good park go their you can walk and the path is very smooth to. And the water is clear and there is a lot of seating and there is a water fountain better then Oakland Park by a lot and are park does not even have half the stuff this park has.

The children and I enjoy feeding the turtles and walking and/or riding our bikes on the trail that goes around the pound. It's always clean and people are friendly. I encourage you to buy aquatic turtle food from the pet store instead of feeding the turtles bread.

★★★★★ — Taji , Jun 2020

There isn't much parking. It's in a quiet neighborhood and peaceful. There is a walking trail, play ground and a pond with duck, geese, and turtles. Be aware that I have spotted a snake there before but, I believe the issue was resolved. Overall excellent park!

★★★★★ — Naquita , Apr 2018

Great view, great playground with rockwall, and a nice lake with a paved walking path. Just all around well done park. Super small parking lot though. I think there are multiple lots, but the one I used was full and had to park on the grass.

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.
