Confirmed from Elm Street Green'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.

“the winding row of advertising posts here is a repulsive addition to this otherwise gorgeous park.”

“This is kind of a quiet park with a nice paved walking path around it and a small shelter.”

This is kind of a quiet park with a nice paved walking path around it and a small shelter. There really isn't much of a playground for kids (just a very small area), but there is a community garden and some large open fields if you are looking for something like that.

★★★★★ — Dan , Jul 2021

Such a lovely little park! Perfect for my 2 year old who simply wants to run and explore. Best time to go is around sunset! It's beautiful.

★★★★★ — Christina , Oct 2023

Nice park for pets, kids, and a casual walk. Garden lots available too. No restrooms unfortunately.

★★★★★ — Teresa , Oct 2025

Beautiful space! Great walking trail that is kid and stroller friendly.

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.
