Confirmed from Half-Acre 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.

It was our first time there. We went there with 2 if our youngest grandkids and they had a blast. They enjoyed the swings and slides and the jungle gym. There's also a nice section for dogs that is totally fenced in with training activities for them.
