Confirmed from Fantle Memorial 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.

Park with a water park, playground, and sports courts, as well as disc golf.

“Beautiful trees and a well lay out of space and decor.”

It's a great large park in the middle of town. Pool and water park is looking like it will be a great time. Tennis, volleyball, frisbee golf, picnic areas, basketball, soccer, and a small baseball field are all inside this park.

Has the Aquatics Center there, disc golf, playground, walking/biking paths, tennis courts, sand volleyball, baseball diamond and some benches to sit and enjoy the trees and basic wild life (birds and squirrels)

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.
