Confirmed from General Pulaski 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.
Park featuring baseball and basketball courts, plus a playground and a pond.

Love the new playground at the park. My hubby and I love up walk the track around the whole park and pond. Wish the restrooms were open though.
Not a bad place to take a stroll. The park has a nice paved walking path. I greatly enjoyed it.
Nice clean park. They took out the benches which is hard on many people that need to be close to playground equipment and supervise. Lack of shade on the playground equipment is hard as well.
Really nice park. You can walk,fish, there is a large playground for kids and it's a good place to bring pets. The bathrooms were extremely dirty. I mean poop was wiped all over the doors. My kids had to pee and I had them pee in the grass.
Trail conditions & character

“Was nice to take the dogs out for a walk, except we noticed that someone had scribbled in the freshly poured concrete!”
“The winding path, adorned with lush greenery and serene ponds, provides a picturesque backdrop for those seeking solace in nature.”
“The parking lot area is a concern (safety issues) as they placed parking spots on both sides of the drive which is the length of the playground and walkway.”
