Confirmed from McIndoe 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 McIndoe Park
I've recently started running again after having my baby. Mcindoe has quickly become one of my go to running parks! The trail is 🤏🏽almost 100% paved and wide enough for people to pass and STILL be on the trail! It is clean and maintained well, I only wish it had some lighting for evening runs!
There's a nice walking trail at this park and there are nice mature trees. Shoal Creek is shallow in spots, so wading in the summer is fun.
