Confirmed from G.H. Freeman 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.
Quiet, clean park offering a playground for children and a paved or gravel path.

Small park but nice and quiet, usually not busy at all. A good walking gravel path around the park. Good place to read, meditate or relax.
Neat little park that is a nice place to spend time with kids. Most of the park is visible from anywhere else in the park. It's nice to feel like your kids can run around freely without getting out of sight. The playground is small but fun for younger kids.
