Confirmed from Garrard Landing 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.
Picturesque park with a playground, ponds, walking paths, fountains and a bridge.

Absolutely gorgeous place with impressive and scenic walking trails for a roadside park. In fact, in fact the trails are so diverse and scenic that once you get far enough on them you almost forget how close you are to civilization.
Such a beautiful place! It's a good place to walk with children or dogs and the playground is very nice.
Love this place for some exercise and to get out and take pictures of birds. There are a lot of birds at the Farm that you don't see around the area. There is a lot of history in and around the farm.
