Confirmed from Dorotha Mae Pitts 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.

★★★★★ — Phil , Sep 2020

family, kid, dog friendly park. with playground, disc golf, half court basketball, and plenty of grass space to run around. they have a few picnic tables with shade. i've seen families hosted birthdays and events here. my only thing is no bathroom around the area.

★★★★☆ — Marie , May 2022

Great park for toddlers 3+. It could use 1 more set of swings, nut LOTS of plush grass to run around and picnic on. They have safe play structures.

★★★★☆ — Keisha , May 2021

Pretty good size park. Takes 10-15 minutes to walk the perimeter. Beautiful grassy areas. Only downside is no restroom.

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.
