Confirmed from Hathaway 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.
Spacious, clean park featuring playgrounds for kids of all ages, plus sports fields and a riverfront.

What a great environment for the whole !!! Across from Hathaway Elementary School. Has in park BBQ grills, gazebos, playground, and a pickle ball court on the upper part of the park. There is also a walking path for those who enjoy a quiet walk with your dog or better half.
Nice park, nice okay structure. Sometimes bathrooms are open. There's not much shade on the play structure.
