Confirmed from Landreth 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.
Gathering place for sports & picnics with a playground, sand volleyball & an amphitheater.
What runners say about Landreth Park
“The park and their bathrooms were clean, as well as the playground equipment.”
This is an unassuming hillside stretch that really doesn't look like much from a distance. I suppose for lots of people, it really isn't much. The great outdoors isn't great for everybody, and that's fine. But what if you're someone who, like me, enjoys getting out there in it? Well, the answer is simple: check it out.
Huge park with a very nice multi-use trail, playground, covered pavilions with picnic tables, tennis courts, and a disc golf course. Lovely place to walk. Just don't let anyone borrow your phone... some kid had his stolen in broad daylight.
One of the cleanest parks close to our house! Pickle Pickleball courts are always buzzing. We'll lit areas & has a great set of walking paths around the whole area.
We had a great time walking the path for the suicide awareness walk. The park and their bathrooms were clean, as well as the playground equipment. We love that there are so many sensory items available here for kids and adults to enjoy. Fun and safe park!

“Restrooms were not great, and though it says water is available for drinking, but I couldn't find a water fountain, just an outdoor water spigot.”
“Only critique, needs more trees around parking area.”
