We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Harvest Hills Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“This is a beautiful well-kept park.”

This is a lesser-known St. Charles public park in St. Charles. It has two tennis courts, a playground, covered sitting area, and a half-mile walking/running loop around a mowed grass area. Nice chill spot.

★★★★☆ — Aaron , Aug 2020

This is a beautiful well-kept park. It is for all ages and has great views of the sunset. It’s an ideal place to take the kids, walk the dog, or go for a run.
