Confirmed from McCullough 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.
Riverfront, spacious park featuring a playground, soccer nets, free sports programs and picnic tables.

It’s a nice place to bike and walk but it didn’t have any lemonade so it’s ok but overall it good
Large open park along the Fox river. Plenty of parking and plenty of open grassy areas with many large beautiful trees. There is a bike trail along the river and a kids playground next to the Prisco center, which is a park district facility offering gym memberships
A cool little Hill, which actually offers a great way for family fun. Check out the Hill from the bottom , before you take the run from the top. If you happen to overshoot the hill, it looks like the next stop is the Fox River. Be safe and have fun
