Confirmed from Getzendaner 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.

“It is well maintained and the wild life is relaxing.”
“It's a beautiful trail and very peaceful, I walk it all the time.”
“The grounds are spotlessly clean, and we especially appreciated the ample shaded seating for parents and the clean restroom facilities.”
We love going to this park, it has 4 different little park places (one specifically for small children) within it. Plus it has a hiking trail, bike trail, and walking trail that is 7 and a half miles long. It's a beautiful trail and very peaceful, I walk it all the time.
Great park to take the kids and play on the way grounds. Or you can go for a bike ride on the many bike trails. Or just go for a hike or a run. It is well maintained and the wild life is relaxing. Watch out for crazy squirrels charging your car head on.
