Confirmed from Mack Porter 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.
Popular playground featuring a trail, a ball field and a fenced-in dog park.

Being a older adult and have had several surgeries, I have gone through PT which walking was a big part. We love to walk the trail. You have beautiful wild birds, rabbits and squirrels, plus others not seen, but heard.
I love this walk way through the woods and attaches to Jesse James park..

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
