Confirmed from McKey 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.
Green suburban park with a large tennis center, volleyball court & 2 play areas divided by a creek.

Very relaxing atmosphere on nights when it's cooler out. Kids having a great time, people playing pickleball or jogging. This park is full of life.
