Confirmed from Hoyt 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.
Sprawling outdoor area featuring a swimming pool and a beer garden, along with trails.

Awesome park. There's a playground, pool and waterpark, picnic areas, concession stand and a beer garden. We went there for the beautiful wooded walking trail next to the water. Definitely a new favorite park!
