Confirmed from McCormick 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.

“There aren't any hills to climb and it's well maintained.”

Nice spacious park with trails! Disc golfers everywhere, although pretty and next to rushing river, has frisbee flying around or I felt I was in their way with my 3 kids.

New park ...great features. I love that it has so many aspects of it. A work out trail...a skate park...a bmx run...a disc golf field...a children's playground newly renovated with a zip line! ...a baseball field ...and a campground. It sit right near a library also. The site also has a military monument.

I love this park. There are so many things to do here. You can plan events, take walks, skateboard, ride bikes and bring your kids to play on the playground. There is even a dog park, baseball field and basketball courts…😁😁😁

★★★★★ — Vanessa , Jun 2023

Very nice park for a light hike. There aren't any hills to climb and it's well maintained. My wife and I look forward to hiking their trails every time we visit the area. The wildlife makes the park homey.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 5 mentions

“Dog park, exercise course, covered picnic and BBQ pit areas, ball field, creek, Pokémon paradise, Frisbee golf course, and way way more!”
