Confirmed from Glen Oaks 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.
Waterfront neighborhood park with ball fields, paved walking trails & 3 fishing piers.

Great park, my wife and I walk here every morning. Only issue are dogs not on a leash.
Another one of the many breathtaking little parks here in Clearwater. A little too close to the road. But still a beautiful spot This is a very well maintained and clean county park. And according to the athletics director a major soccer facility. They hold live events.
Nice local park, paved walking trails, soccer fields, playground, lake with decks, restrooms only open during events such as soccer games, nice map of distance(s) walk/run/bike, and Pinellas Trail passes through at south end of park.
