Confirmed from Green Acres 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.

Quiet place with basketball courts and multiple playgrounds, as well as a picnic pavilion.

“Beautiful park along bike trails in Rolla, Mo.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“There is a quiet little creek running along side of bike trail that is good for exploring.”

Nice small park with newer addition to the older standing on with swings. The area is adorned with a free little library & includes multiple features like the large covered pavilion, grill, multiple seating areas, bathrooms (open later in summer I imagine), sandy volleyball, basketball courts, & baseball field...

★★★★★ — Sarah , Apr 2023

We LOVE to come here for a small park tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The picnic tables are kind of far away from the play equipment and there isn't much seating close enough for our toddler-ages required supervision!!! But a great park right along the Acorn Trail!

★★★★☆ — Linda , Nov 2017

Beautiful park along bike trails in Rolla, Mo. There is picnic shelter, pickleball courts, volleyball sand area with net, small playground, and baseball field. There is a quiet little creek running along side of bike trail that is good for exploring. Lots of nature in area too.

★★★★★ — Theresa , May 2026

The new pickleball courts are great. The parknas a whole was bustling this morning with Acorn Trail users (bikers, walkers and runners); the playground had a family having fun. But still a quiet place with birds and big trees.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
