Confirmed from Greenway 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.
Local green space with a dog area, a playground and a creek for kids to splash around in.
What runners say about Greenway Park
“Excellent park clean and well kept”
“Beautiful new playground 🛝 we visited it during holiday season to see the lights and Santa or Grinch 😊”
Very nice dog park. Water, a pup pool, agility course, benches, picnic tables and lots of shade on both the big and small dog areas. Owners appear to use the free poo bags too which is great so we aren’t playing Minecraft while walking.
This park has a newly updated playground, and good upkeep all the way around. - Basketball court - Pavilion w/ picnic tables & grill - 2 walking covered bridges - paved walking path - storywalk - gazebo - creek - picnic tables scattered around - large green space - dog friendly - bags & trashcan - bathrooms in the…
Lots to do, from play ground, to wooded paths, and a creek to splash around in. Of all the parks in town, this is our go to. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is that they have restrooms by the play ground that are never open. There is a porta potty but it never has toilet paper.
This little park is really a nice spot for walking pets or just a leisurely stroll. There is a small creek that goes through it. There is a short trail that goes through a sparsely wooded area. It's very clean. They do a nice job with the lights during the Christmas season.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says

- ShadeRunners describe real tree cover here — it makes a summer afternoon workable
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- At the trailheadrestrooms — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
