Confirmed from Hollaway (JC) 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.

“Nice quiet park across from good neighborhoods, the trail between this park and Jenkins is very well kept and a beautiful place to run.”

This is such a beautiful wooded location. You can park here or at Jenkins Park which has a larger parking area. The two parks connect with beautiful trails that make you feel like you are really in a forest. There are different options and paths to take, so you can choose how long your walk is.

★★★★★ — Smily , Mar 2021

This is just the coolest little park. A couple of the trails connect to the bark park. Seems like it has a little of something for everyone: Tennis, basketball, hiking, picnic and grilling. Oh and don’t forget about the playground and swingset. I also really like the tiny grab and go library.

★★★★★ — Sherlock , Oct 2022

Great park to take your little ones, dog or even to just go walking/biking. The paths are awesome and serene.

★★★★★ — Kimberly , Nov 2022

Nice little park. Has a couple tennis courts, basketball court, and a small playground. Area is clean and shares a trail for walking.

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.
