Confirmed from Mount Pleasant 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.
What runners say about Mount Pleasant Park
“Nice and quiet park for having your kids at running around with them and playing”
There was hardly anyone there, the entire park is shaded, and there is just enough field space for outdoor fun. I enjoyed it. And I will go agen.

- At the trailheadwater — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
