Confirmed from Foil Tatum 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.

Open 24h

Park with a trail that's good for kids.

What runners say about Foil Tatum Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (43 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This park is near my workplace, so I come here for runs on my lunch break sometimes. The grass and bushes are well manicured. There is also a small lending library near the entrance with a good variety of books. I love the fitness equipment laid out around the trail and the playground is really nice too.

★★★★★ — Miss , May 2021

A convenient neighborhood destination to set down and eat some lunch and go for a walk after, just up the creek.

★★★★☆ — Paul , Sep 2021

Perfect place for people and pets to walk and exercise or enjoy a picnic in the gazebo.

★★★★★ — Richard , Oct 2017

The practical stuff

  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
