Confirmed from Infirmary Mound 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.

What runners say about Infirmary Mound Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (180 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 8 mentions

“Looks to be very well maintained and even though I bring my own I like that there are some poop bag stations.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“We explored the park for a while, taking our time walking around the pond, exploring the fairy garden and just generally taking in the beautiful scenery on a December afternoon.”

We took our dog here during the golden hour. There is plenty of conveniently located parking spots throughout the park. The trails aren't paved which was nice for our dog and we got to see people riding their horses which was pretty unique! Just watch out for horse poop!

★★★★★ — Tonya , Mar 2022

The Fairy Trail is really fun to see all the houses. Infirmary Mound is hidden behind the horse arena with no signage.

★★★★★ — Gerime , Jul 2022

Nice park. The park is not super busy, Peaceful. Dog park gets busy. Walking trails are nice. Bathrooms throughout the park. Pond has a kayak loading dock. Catch and release fishing. Most largemouth bass. There’s supposed to be other fish, but not much action.

★★★★☆ — Meng , Oct 2023

This is hands down one of the best parks in Licking County. Great for horses and dogs alike. The trails are very well maintained.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 24 mentions

“They have a nice fenced in dog park and seven miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain bikes, a pond for fishing and other amenities.”
