Confirmed from Joseph F. William Memorial 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 view with lots of benches and a gazebo.”

Cute place for a picnic with the kids. Always a fun time digging in the sand, walking on the dock, and playing on the playground. Watch out for all the goose poop though, and the water may not be suitable for swimming with all the plant and algae growth in it.

Went here for the recent solar eclipse, there were plenty of places to sit in the shade while we waited.
