Confirmed from Gutosky 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.

I like this, Yesterday, Nice huge area with lots of grass for the kids to run and play in. Bathrooms are very huge and clean. Over all very nice park. Beautiful park the leaves and weather wear amazing. The playground was nice enough and safe too.

This was the first time I went to this park to walk sabbath my partner and service dog and we enjoyed the visit. The people were pleasant and it was a nice visit. It is a small neighborhood park but pleasant, will be going back.

★★★★☆ — Tommy , May 2021

Cute little park in the middle of a neighborhood. It has a bathroom and is very quiet. With lots of shade and nice sitting areas.

★★★★★ — Grant , Feb 2018

Great park for family picnics and taking the dog to run around. Not on a big street so it's usually a quiet place to go relax.

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.
