Confirmed from Jack Nicklaus 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 Jack Nicklaus Park
Great place to walk dogs, can be a little muddy and it surrounded by streets on all sides so be careful if your pup is off leash. We come after dark so its rarely busy. Nice little run spot for the pups. Be careful there has been food from the picnic tables the dogs will find.
