Confirmed from Mitchell 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.
450-acre park & wetlands with arts center & trails for cross country skiing, biking & hiking.

The dog park is well maintained and there is plenty of space to explore. Lucky loves getting into “trouble” on the trails where dogs are allowed off leash. I’ve met many friendly people!!
