Confirmed from Freestone Legacy Walking 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.

PavedOpen 24hScenicDog-friendly

Relaxed, landscaped park featuring trails for walking and running along with a stream, waterfall and pond.

I usually go walking or hiking in the warmer months but when I don't want to deal with the heat and rattlesnakes or if I want to walk a little closer to town, I come to the walking park. This place is very pretty. I love the trees and the water.

★★★★★ — Diana , Jun 2022

Nice open area. Paved and maintained walkways. A gazebo is located in the center of the park. Arch bridge. Waterfall, stream, and a pond located at the other end. Trail is marked for distance around the outer loop. Dogs are welcome, but they must be on a leash.

★★★★★ — Robert , Jul 2023

It can be a great place to walk and run if the dogs are on the leash, no bikes, and the moms are watching their kids. Otherwise you have to dodge kids unsupervised, dogs running to you, and people or kids riding their bikes. By the way the city park has a path to if you want to run, walk with your kids.

★★★★☆ — Steph. , Apr 2018

Nice little walking park to help 0eo0le get their steps in a safe place.

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.
