We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Nathan Hale Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Nathan Hale Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (10 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

The stormwater basin is about a half mile loop. You can see plenty of waterfall. There is a small gazebo but there are no chairs. Dogs are allowed but please bring your own poop bag since they are mostly empty

★★★★☆ — Dave , Jun 2026

A quiet park with a playground, a walking trail around the basin, and huge fields to run in. This is my favorite place to walk my dogs and being my kids.

★★★★★ — Missy , Jun 2026
