Confirmed from Kosciuszko 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.

Runners: it is a beautiful park .75mi loop. Well shaded with dirt trail and an actual restroom building. Well-maintained and totally clean. Several bench areas overlooking the water to rest and stretch under shade. If so inclined, Harbor Point park is about .

★★★★★ — Josie , May 2023

Beautiful path and views on this trail. There is a playground in the park as well as parking available. Kosciuszko Park is also located near Harbor point which has restaurants in walking distance.

★★★★★ — Jennifer , Aug 2024

Nice quiet paths along the water. Plenty of benches to sit down spaced out along the Loop Trail. Picnic Gazebo. Baseball Field and Playground for the kids make this a great day at the park.

★★★★★ — Thomas , Jul 2019

First time at this park. I went there looking for the waterfront. The water view is beautiful. It's a nice small park which also has a walking trail.

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.
