Confirmed from Mary Virginia Crites Hannan 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.
Wooded park with a splash pad and playgrounds, popular for family outings.

It is very nice park on the north end of Circleville Ohio. The playground equipment is in good condition. There is also a splash pad, hiking trails, and a pavilion. It is also equipped with public restrooms. Everything about the park seems to be well kept.
Love this place and so do my kiddos. Beautiful place to take the kids from the trails to the park and splash pad as well as the wetlands. They also have a workout area for parents. It’s a must see!
