Confirmed from Mount Marty 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.

“Beautiful monument and great view of both Kansas City, Mo and Kansas City, Ks”

I love these trails. Keep an eye out for all the shrines! My partner and I found a bunch of stuff to add to them. We only passed a few people during our whole mile plus trek.

★★★★★ — Erin , Aug 2020

A small, pleasant community park. It's basic but well-kept, with a playground and open space for kids to run. Serves its neighborhood well as a convenient spot for fresh air and casual recreation without needing to travel to a larger park.

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.
