Confirmed from Hurley 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.
This park with woodlands & gardens also offers trails, quaint bridges & gazebos.
What runners say about Hurley Park
“Beautiful green space with extensive walking trails through gardens, over creeks and around ponds with fountains and a wide variety of flowers and shrubs.”
I absolutely love this park and feel fortunate to live within walking distance. Hurley Park is an excellent place to take walks, to take pictures, or to simply "be". There are gravel covered paths which are so much easier on your feet/legs than sidewalks are for walking.
I love finding gems like this neighborhood park in Salisbury NC while traveling for photo shoots and events. This is a beautiful park with water features, trails and tranquil areas to just relax, read a book or just get some excercise. As a photographer, it's a perfect spot for photos.
Beautiful park. Dog friendly. Love to walk through and see all the beautiful flowers.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- SurfaceCrushed gravel — the rail-trail classic: softer than asphalt, still smooth enough for tempo work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- At the trailheadparking — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
- Stroller / wheelchairReported as smooth and step-free enough for a running stroller or a chair.
