Confirmed from McConnell 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 McConnell Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (94 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

If you like huge woodsy parks, this place is pretty awesome. It has tons of nooks and crannies that all have things to do in them. There are many playgrounds and large covered picnic type places for parties, as well as large fields.

★★★★★ — Cathie , Jul 2018

Cute park for kids and a nice place to kill 2 birds with one stone; there's a large open grass area where I can run my dog while my son plays with neighborhood kids. It also has park benches and a couple of picnic areas, as well as climb-able trees for kids. It's a smaller park, but still worth an afternoon.

★★★★☆ — Amy , May 2019

Nice and enjoyable playground abd park. Great for kids. Has a small feild good for dogs to run around. Big trees.

★★★★☆ — Alexxx , Dec 2017

Tiny park with a playground. Kids love it when we go for a walk to it. Definitely would love to see it remodeled.

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.
