We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Holliday 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.

“Beautiful day for a walk, pretty nice trails to walk the puppers (people just need to keep their dogs on a leash).”

A beautiful park that I hate to say is becoming less beautiful over time. The amount of graffiti has increased significantly throughout the preserve with a lot of it painted directly onto trees. The wooden posts put in along the trail have become a magnet to anyone with a pen or marker.

★★★★☆ — Gil , Jul 2020

It’s a little “forest” in the middle of the city. we saw at least 20 deer in one walk. Also many squirrels and birds roam the park.

★★★★★ — Raul , Mar 2022

Nice place for a walk as long as the mad mountain biker doesn't run you down. It is a great place to see nature and get some exercise. .I think the bikers should go somewhere else though. They scare away all of the wildlife and some will run you over if you don't jump out of their path.

★★★★☆ — Sandra , Jun 2019

Was there a a few months ago. There were alot of trees down on the paths due to wintet storms. They have all been cut up and the paths are clear. It appears there were or are going to be signs for the paths but there are none at this time. No indication where the paths will take you.

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.

“Also I wish selfish people would quit bringing unleashed dogs out on the trail as if the rules don't apply to them.”
