Confirmed from Enos B. Godshall 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.
Wooded park featuring a shaded wood-chip trail and picnic tables.
What runners say about Enos B. Godshall Park

“It's nice to come by and eat lunch on occasion as it's pleasantly quiet aside from some of the road noise on Godshall Rd.”
“Lots of dogs out for walks.”
This park has become one of my favorite locations to go hiking with the kids. The woodchip trail is a well maintained trail that offers shade to receive some respite from the hot weather. I have seen public works staff tending to the park and replacing washed out wood chips.
A small park with a wonderful trail through the woods. Portable restroom on site. Ample parking. Crosswalk allows access to Banbury-Mopac park trail.
Nice walking trail. Safer to cross the road since they installed a four way stop sign and a better crosswalk too. Another trail is located near the parking lot too but no that visible.
This park was so nice, not crowded at Sunset and had a nice sunset view from atop of the hill. There are gentle slopes and a bit more of an upward slope at the last leg back to the parking lot.
