Confirmed from Frenchtown Township 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (98 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 8 mentions

“A great park well maintained, nice kids play ground, tennis courts , socker field, basketball ball.”

🐕 dog-walking favorite 3 mentions

“We took our dog for a walk here and it was really nice!”

We always enjoy the wide open AND enclosed spaces provided!!! Gives Sarge the chance to run and play off leash. He REALLY enjoys running around in the enclosed tennis court when it's accessible and (...of course...) not being used by others.

★★★★★ — Ken , Jan 2023

My dog Riley and I love to walk around the park! She walks proud at passersby and loves to be pet by the little kids playing on the playscape!

★★★★★ — Rileys , May 2019

Nice little park with a nice walking path, Basketball court, soccer fields and I believe a restroom.

★★★★☆ — Dave , Aug 2017

This is a nice little park, and seems fairly well maintained. The walking trail that loops all the way around the park is around 0.8 miles or so. We took our dog for a walk here and it was really nice!

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.
