Confirmed from Irish Avenue 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 Irish Avenue Park
“it's all pretty stable ground, beautiful trails along the woods.”
“There are multiple trails that are cut, it's a good spot for off the leash dog walking although people could do better about picking up after their four legged pals.”
A pretty large area with trails running through it. With 8+ cars in the parking area, I only saw 2 other people the whole time. The outer loop in the park was about 2.5 miles after checking out a few of the offshoot trails that lead the road. A lot of off leash dogs around and that seemed like a friendly thing.
I’d like to publicly express my thanks to the individuals (whoever they are) that made the radio control track possible. As a casual hobbyist I was enthralled to learn there was a public place where I can run my kits over a course and I look forward to visiting again.
This is a good spot for a walk through open space. There are multiple trails that are cut, it's a good spot for off the leash dog walking although people could do better about picking up after their four legged pals. There is an RC Car track next to the parking area.
Beautiful, huge natural wooded area that is a joy to roam. We've taken our kids, our grandkids, and our dog out there. We also ride our horse there frequently
