Confirmed from Fondren 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.
Rubberized jogging track in a peaceful setting as well as a playground.
What runners say about Fondren Park
“The gardens are not well kept on our last visit , I'll see if my company can donate a few plants.”
“Use to live right down the road and would walk to the park to get a little exercise very peaceful”
Nice walking track made of rubberized soft materials. Picnic tables, NO RESTROOMS available. Or I'd give 5 stars. Also no places to park, vehicle.
