Confirmed from Ivey Terrace 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.
Picturesque getaway featuring a forested walking trail, gazebo & picnic facilities.

The paved trail is super nice to walk or bike on. Along the trail there's a to scale model of the Solar System to follow along with. Nice quiet, shaded park to hang out at.
Awesome, well-maintained park in the middle of several of Gainesville, GA's greenways. HIGHLY recommended for walks year-round.
The park was decorated for Christmas with a walk along story! This park always feels safe & is relatively quiet!
You can tell is raining, but still nice for a walk if you don't mind the weather!!
