Confirmed from Main Street 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.

AWESOME PARK WITH TWO FULL-SIZE AMAZING AND CREATIVE MODERN PLAYGROUNDS!!!! 😁👍👍 It is our FAVORITE playground to come to less than ten miles away from our house! Our son LOVES it here!

★★★★★ — Dan , Dec 2021

One of our favorites. A large park with two different playground areas for 5+ as well as a play area for 2-5 year olds. Lots of things to climb, swings, two different places to picnic with picnic tables and shelter, trails (nothing over a mile, unless you make a loop), and bathrooms.

★★★★★ — Madelyn , May 2024

We have such a blast at this park! There are two different playgrounds, walking trails with spots to do little workouts along the way, a pavilion with picnic tables, public bathrooms, a beautiful gazebo, and much more! This place is dog friendly, as well!

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.
