Confirmed from Dr. Kenneth Cooper 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.
Park providing a walking trail in a clean and peaceful environment.
What runners say about Dr. Kenneth Cooper Park
“Clean and beautiful park for walking and running.”
“Great walking path and love the picturesque bridge over the creek.”
“The trail is quite wide and is concrete on one side and running surface on the other side which makes it an especially great place for running and jogging.”
“Lovely shaded walking paths made of a rubberized material that is great for walking/running and easy on your joints.”
“Also very quiet and never overly busy”
This place is great for walking and running since it has the rubber tracks. Very quiet and shaded.
Great as a neighborhood park, featuring a .70 loop trail around a wooded watershed area. The trail is quite wide and is concrete on one side and running surface on the other side which makes it an especially great place for running and jogging. It’s pretty well shaded so good for summer weather too!
I live right by this park and walk through it regularly. Well maintained and manicured. Lovely shaded walking paths made of a rubberized material that is great for walking/running and easy on your joints. Also very quiet and never overly busy
Nice place to walk. Its a mile around. The rubber walkway help the runners to avoid injuries. Landscape was improved further now
