Confirmed from Morton 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.
Pond with a sandy beach for swimming and fishing, plus hiking trails.

Relatively large park with few options for walks. There are basically two trails that run along the water. Many people fishing. Beautiful sunsets.
Great Park for walking, fishing, hiking, site seeing, relaxing, picnic, family gathering, and any type of get together. The water is clean and clear and theirs lots of fishing area's. Beautiful spot anytime of year. As a little girl I'd come here during the summers with my family and go swimming and eat lunch.
