Confirmed from Fox Hollow 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.

A small little park with a picnic pavilion with two picnic tables, a small playground with 4 or 5 activity installations, a couple of benches for relaxing or resting along a walking/running track (3 laps = 1 mile) and lots of shade.

★★★★★ — Patty , Apr 2025

Great neighborhood park that is well shaded and has a nice little walking track (3 times around is a mile). The park is full of mature trees that help cut through the heat in the summer. It has small covered seating area with two picnic tables, great for a small party.

★★★★★ — Carol , Aug 2018

It's a small neighborhood playground, usually pretty empty.Not really sure if other children live in the area so much.I've been 3 times with my granddaughters.And usually there's no one there when we go. It. 's always clean. Not a whole lot to do their, but it's usually empty.So great walking path

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.
