Confirmed from Harrington 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.

“small but clean park, plenty of Space for Kids to run around +playground and paved loop approx .”

We love this park, perfect for the 2 yr olds as well as older kids, has bathrooms, trails, fields and a little library. It's our favorite. It also has an entrance to ten mile creek and we've been there multiple times to explore

★★★★★ — Maria , May 2017

We had the pleasure of visiting Harrington Park with friends and family and had a pleasant experience. We like this park because it has nice soya for the shade when the sun is beaming down on you. It also has locations for you to use the bathroom in addition to trails you can explore.

★★★★★ — Mr. , May 2023

small but clean park, plenty of Space for Kids to run around +playground and paved loop approx .4 flat miles for full loop. Just a guestimate. If wanting hill repeats, plenty in a mile radius

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.
