Confirmed from Marrow Bone Spring 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.

Quiet

Park featuring a skate park, a pool, play equipment and trails for walking, plus a creek.

“Very quiet and empty of just about everyone today, due no doubt because of the cold and threat of rain.”

Good place to walk around, the food mart is convenient, I read the reviews of a "particular crowd" however I must miss that crowd or arrive before they show up, I generally see a police car here and on occasion offer a powerade or something to drink. Its important to stay hydrated.

★★★★★ — Vic , Jul 2019

Very quiet and empty of just about everyone today, due no doubt because of the cold and threat of rain. This park is a Trail Park, not the usual kind where you will find, kids, teens, and adults having quinceaneras, cook outs and playing or fishing. Just walkers, cyclists, skaters, and skateboarders.

★★★★★ — Connie , Dec 2018

Nice little park in renovation, but has beautiful trail connecting to vandergriff park

★★★★★ — Erryn , Aug 2019

The small creek is nice for a walk on the bike path leading to BobDuncan park

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.
