Confirmed from Gulf Terrace 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.

“Beautiful park with ample walking trails.”

Love the new trail but it could use some 1/4 mile markers. I felt like forever went by before I saw 1 mile

★★★★☆ — Layna , Feb 2016

Flat square concrete track with a dog leg option to extend overall distance. Benches around the track and a few canopies to escape the sun. I'd love to have a more technical trail at this location but you can ride the center of the square area for some bumps and grass. Good for walking and jogging as well.

★★★★☆ — Bigcrabrob , May 2019

This a great place to run, walk, or bike. They have benches all around the track. They have some bathroom amenities. The track is about 3.1 miles long. So if you're practicing for that 5k, this is the ideal place.

★★★★★ — Combatdriver , Jul 2019

Very good workout. My husband and I live less than a mile from here. We just got bicycles.....love it

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.
