Confirmed from Greenleaf Parkway'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.

“Nice & clean place to excersise.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“Decent place to walk , though not if you want a peaceful, quiet environment, as it's at a pretty busy intersection”

Nice & clean place to excersise. Spacious. They need to clean the walking area & smooth the outer walkway. It needs to be level. You will stumble if you're not paying attention!!

★★★★★ — Michael , Sep 2020

Wonderful exciting and mostly it's so healthy. Thank you! Dog walkers should STOP I almost walked in poop on the walk path.😒

★★★★☆ — Alice , Sep 2019

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.
