Confirmed from Ella Harris Recreation 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.

“Part of the trail is shaded in the trees although most is out in the open.”

Very nice recreation area with baseball and softball diamonds among some open fields. Two parking lots with ample spaces. Nice 1/2 mile paved walking trail around the perimeter. Part of the trail is shaded in the trees although most is out in the open.

★★★★★ — Chris , Jun 2024

Huge park!! Love the walking trail. 2 full basketball courts!! A baseball field, tennis courts, children play areas, swings, plenty of parking. Overall lovely park.

★★★★★ — Rodney , Jan 2022

Very nice park. Has a decent playground for the little ones. Two basketball courts, a tennis court, a nice walking path. There are also baseball fields here. Plenty of places to sit and trees for shade on hot days. Good place for a picnic!

★★★★★ — Peter , Aug 2019

Beautiful park. It is a great place to go for a walk or jog. There are a lot of fields that are used for baseball and softball.

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.

“It's downright silly to have to know to drive behind a municipal building to get to the parking lot for the playground.”
