Confirmed from Kohler Meadows 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.

well-maintained 6 mentions

“Very clean, private, a great playground and lots of trails to walk!”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“So if it's a hot day and shade is needed maybe bring a large tarp for the top or a portable canopy to for the kiddos.”

Love this picnic shelter rental. Very clean, private, a great playground and lots of trails to walk!!!

★★★★★ — Jen , Jun 2024

Nice park; some trails. Neighborhood is nice too. My kids are now too old for the playground, but I assume it is nice. Some sports fields, too.

★★★★★ — Joseph , Apr 2024

This is a very nice playground with pretty cool equipment. There is a three-person swing seat that is very popular with the kids. Parking is plentiful. It's a great place to be while the kids are playing soccer or some other events. The walking paths are nice and short so you can just walk a loops if you want it to.

★★★★★ — Charles , Nov 2021

This was a great park! Lots of shaded benches, unique equipment and close to the parking lot. The only thing that would be better is indoor bathrooms, but overall, a very pleasant place!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
