Confirmed from Fred George Basin Greenway'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 nature trails and picnic facilities.

“The kids were able to play in a safe area with a super fun playground; we had shaded picnic tables; and the bathrooms were safe and clean.”
“There are a few trails here that I like to walk my dog, each is about a 2-mile loop.”
There's always something new to see near the ponds, in the woods or in the grasslands. Lots of natural diversity, and just enough hilliness on the trails to raise the pulse a little. Love those oaks!!
Excellent natural area for walking. No trail markers. I’m glad I had “all trails” app to guide me to walk the entire perimeter of this little trail system. As I am new to this area. Several miles can be walked in this one park. Very well maintained
This is the place to come hiking—there’s another part that is the more developed “park” area. I wouldn’t come alone but it it quite lovely. The walkway has barriers and plenty of space between pedestrians and oncoming cars. Very quiet and peaceful.
Perfect spot to go for a hike. The scenery was lovely and there are plenty of trails to explore. There are no trail markings so just make sure you keep track of which way you came from if you're not so great with directions :)
