Confirmed from Evans McKinney 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.

What runners say about Evans McKinney Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (28 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is right across the road from Meadow park and I personally like the playground equipment better, not a lot of equipment but the quality is higher. This side of the road has the dog park. And trails, I have walked from my house to this park and back, so I can safety say I enjoy those trails.

★★★★★ — Elise , Dec 2020

It's a nice little park with multiple playgrounds, there's a track around the field where I can walk and on the other side there's places to park and walk around in nature.
