Confirmed from Dr. Charles B. McKissick 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.

★★★★★ — Sarah , Dec 2020

I love the place lots of space there's a park for kids and a path for adults

★★★★☆ — Greg , Mar 2018

It's a small park. Good for walking around it's loop. Kids play in its field. There are swings and a small playground. There it's no phone number as this is not a business or plaza.

★★★★☆ — Steve , Dec 2017

Nice park. Has big field to run around or to play soccer and baseball in it. There's a pavilion with cover, benches, a walking/running trail around play area. No basket ball court.

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.

🚻 Restrooms 3 mentions

“The only downside: no restroom facility.”
