Confirmed from Inglenook 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.

“Great Park, Huge play area, lots open space for dogs, ppl, trails to hike, BEAUTIFUL AREA!”

I have been going to this park since I was a kid! My kids now rate it a 10/10 and I still love it as well! I love the trail at this park it’s a nice size and you’re not taken to a faraway land and the playground for the kids is huge with many obstacles.

What a beautiful park. The plays are was amazing. The walking path was nicely maintained. I even seen two deer while I was walking.

★★★★★ — Tammy , Jun 2021

A great park for walking(the trail is 0.62 miles around), there's a nice play area for the kids. A nice place to chill and have a small picnic. And if you enjoy working out, outdoors there's plenty of room for that. The only problem that I encountered was some deers on the trail, but they didn't bother me.

★★★★★ — Brenda , Jul 2020

This is a very nice park for adults and children alike. There are baseball diamonds, a walking trail, and an amazing playscape for the children. There are benches to sit down and relax and the atmosphere. Atmoshere is very friendly, just a great place to be.

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.
