Confirmed from Hanes 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.

👟 good for all levels 2 mentions

“There is something for all ages.”

Close to the downtown in Winston-Salem and has many facilities to work out. I like the trails along with a creek and has additional tracks for running. Convenient location and well maintained.

★★★★★ — Y , Jun 2023

Great park with a paved track to run around the tennis courts and baseball fields. Great location next to the Y with playgrounds for the kids in the heart of the West End of downtown Winston-Salem.

★★★★★ — Jordan , Feb 2019

Beautiful space. Great playground for the kids. Nice area to walk for adults. Walking distance from restaurants/bars/ice cream for a very relaxing day :)

★★★★★ — Josh , Dec 2021

Nice, fun and beautiful place to take the kids. With multiple big slides, plenty of swings for big and little children, and activities to play on as well. It's a stream with a lovely walking path. A beautiful play to come and take pictures with the family.

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.

⛰️ Hills / elevation 4 mentions

“They also has lots of swings, but the swings sit rather high up so are harder for children to climb up on.”
