Confirmed from Hackett 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.

What runners say about Hackett Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (237 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“I ran into this park and it's pretty decent very quiet not busy at all.”

Great place to go with the family to relax and enjoy the scenery. Quiet and pleasant. Plenty of history to learn at this park as well. Sit down relax or go for a walk in the park. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy. Plenty of picnic space.

Looks like a nice park. I only had a short visit. But in my short time while I was there, I saw a young couple looking for a place to get it on! They kept looking for a secluded spot, and she even had a blanket with them.

Love going for walks here with our fur baby Cooper. We also love taking our granddaughters here to play and go for walks. They have beautiful picnic areas, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and volleyball court, plus the childrens play areas.

★★★★★ — Carol , Sep 2023

Nice park, played disc golf (fun layout) also took a look at the war memorial and a walk around the property. Neat baseball field stands.

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.
