Confirmed from Fred Young 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 Fred Young Park
“Usually a quiet place for a wooded area walk or jog.”
I had to redo this review as I had my parks missed up. This park is in between Pinson and Bemis. Known for the BMX track. It has a play ground and ballfields as well. Usually a quiet place for a wooded area walk or jog.
This is a very challenging single track trail. Really enjoyed it. There are a few manmade bridges. Very steep at times. No holders. Mostly pine trees and some hard wood.
The park needs some repairs to BMX track that’s run down the baseball fields could use some love as well The mountain biking tracks looked beginner level for the areas that I could see
