Confirmed from McCollum 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.
What runners say about McCollum Park
“Quiet, Clean, it is directly behind a neighborhood.”
I love this park. It's always clean and inviting. You have two walking trails. Different areas for dogs based on their size, picnic area, skateboard area. Can't get better than this. Family and dog friendly.
Love a shaded park! A few swings, a nice little climbing wall, a picnic pavilion, and a couple benches. Good for a picnic lunch and some running around with the kids. Unfortunately, someone had left their trailer in the small parking area, but we were still able to park on some pine straw.
Trail conditions & character
“Wanted to get the kids & dogs out of the car for a stretch, play, and pup potty break.”

- SurfaceCrushed gravel — the rail-trail classic: softer than asphalt, still smooth enough for tempo work
