We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Griffin Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Griffin Park
Nice little park with starting point access to the inner city trail, a path to Ella Sharp, and the Falling Rivers trail. There is available parking for about 10 to 15 vehicles. The trails are fairly level and have a few bumps and cracks in the pavement.
This is a great spot to begin a walk, bike ride, or longboard ride. It easily connects you to Ella Sharp Park, Cascades, and the Falling Waters Trail. Great flat path with minimal bumps and a few cracks to watch out for if you're longboarding.
Great parking sport to enjoy the intercity + falling waters trails. Ample parking and rustic bathroom facilities.
