Confirmed from Heritage 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.
Paved trails, picnic tables and swing sets, plus a playground, for walking, biking and playing games outdoors.

“The trees around the bike/walking path provide plenty of shady spots to cool down in on hot sunny days.”
“Always a lot of dog walkers and almost everyone is attentive to their pets.”
Great paved walk trails, well maintained park, very clean and beautiful. It's long enough to get more than 3 miles of walking. The river runs thru, adding to the view. Great places for walking, running, bicycles and t to play around. Large grass areas and playground available. You also can bring your dog for a walk.
I power walk here quite often. It's an easy 1 mile concrete paved trail with an outdoor gym, bathrooms, and children's playground. Also, a connecting paved trail leads to Etowah Park.
Such a great place to go and have fun with family and friends! So much open space and a great place to take your dogs! If you’re looking for a nice place to just have a walk or run and a place to relax, I definitely recommend coming to Heritage Park!
Wide open. Usually busy but not too crowded from a dog walking perspective. The park apperantly ties into other areas but I have not walked those because I usually have my dogs that are stupid and as well behaved as their owner. The apple does not fall far from the tree. But a nice wide open park.
