Confirmed from James F. Crews 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 James F. Crews Park
“The combination of a short walking trail and well maintained grounds surrounded by wild growing areas makes this park a pleasant getaway.”
“Its shady and has a water access that she loves to take a dip in.”
“This is a great neighborhood park for a quiet walk without distractions.”
Lovely quiet spot in the heart of an equally quiet neighborhood. The combination of a short walking trail and well maintained grounds surrounded by wild growing areas makes this park a pleasant getaway. You may even spot dear passing by.
The local homeowners might be Karens, but this is. Good waking trail and access to the canal. Watch out for alligators and don't let your pup run down to the water. Alligator's favorite snack is canine!
Nice little quiet park with shorter walking trail. My dog absolutely loves this place. Its shady and has a water access that she loves to take a dip in.
This park is gorgeous. PLENTY of shade very peaceful. Only complaint I have is that it is not going to be the Lake Jackson Dog park.
