Confirmed from Greece Canal 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.
A 577-acre park with amenities such as a dog park, athletic facilities, playgrounds & camping areas.
What runners say about Greece Canal Park
“But the bathrooms are actually clean.”
“Lots of dogs lots of friendly people and beautiful weather.”
“Feels like very peaceful.”
“Dog walkers were respectful of giving room to others dog walkers.”
Went here to fish with my son in the evening before the sun went down. Bugs were bad near the pond but that’s understandable. Sheriff drove through and waved to my son. All in all a beautiful place to take a walk.
The new park guys are doing a great job cleaning up trails and building new bridges to replace broken rotted ones. I really wish more people with dogs would pick up their dogs poop and take the poop bags. There are piles everywhere hindering walking in the open fields. Mainly by the tennis courts.
Peaceful single dock. Perfect for a stop to cook, walk and meet people on the trail. Lovely.
Great small slice of nature here in Greece. Quiet. Clean. Trails. Canal.
