Confirmed from Michillinda 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.

Nice park spend good calm time in the evening. Kids can make use of the plays at the park. If you're looking for then you just need take a small walk in the neighborhood. You would then be welcomed with group of peacock 🦚

★★★★☆ — Dhanyakumar , Aug 2022

A small beautiful park beside west huntington drive societies. Greenery is awesome with small children playing area. Park having small track path, sitting benches, restrooms, managed lawns. Beautiful attraction is peacock which spotted frequently in the park and got habitual to human.

★★★★☆ — Dilip , Jun 2018

Awesomely great park. You can walk around and enjoy the quite environment. Sit down at one of the bench with tables to enjoy a meal. Best thing about this park are the beautiful peacocks you can see around!

★★★★★ — Master , Mar 2024

Small but very pretty park to walk around. I like the peacocks that roam freely. There is a fenced in playground for children and plenty of benches and tables to sit at.

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.
