Confirmed from Nichols Green 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.
Picnic, skateboard, frisbee golf venue featuring scenic waterfalls, plus playgrounds, a splash pad and walking trails.

Love our little park! It’s been pretty clean and well kept when i’ve been there. People always walking, jogging & kids enjoying the water park. Great place to fly a kite or just have a picnic.
