Confirmed from Exploration Green - Phase 3'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 Exploration Green - Phase 3
“Beautiful, dog friendly, pathways and wild paths.”
“Great scenery, perfect for a run or walk out in nature.”
Great place to ride bikes and take a walk. Just take note that there is no shade if you are going out for a summer jog.
Stunning walking trails! There are several phases of Exploration Green, some more developed than others. Trails and landscaping are well kept and neighborhood is friendly. We saw several geese, cranes, and turtles. Beautiful scenery! I look forward to coming back during sunset.
Nice place to exercise, walking, running, or bike. Not a lot of shade so you probably want to stay away in the middle of the hot summer days.
Beautiful, dog friendly, pathways and wild paths. Wildlife & wildflowers galore
