Confirmed from Fourth Ward 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 Fourth Ward Park
“It offers me the peace and quiet of nature plus feeling like I'm in the middle of nowhere and has plenty for the kids to do.”
So beautiful and peaceful... Was the perfect place to just enjoy a nice day out. A great spot walk around and just enjoy nature. Bring water, snack, or even a picnic lunch. Spend a little bit of time here or all afternoon. Sit and bring a book and unwind from all the hustle and bustle of the world.
It offers me the peace and quiet of nature plus feeling like I'm in the middle of nowhere and has plenty for the kids to do. The terrain is a little rough but that's to be expected when you're surrounded by forest and trails with the playground in the middle.
it's a nice place to walk around! peaceful... I need to explore it more.
