Confirmed from Nicholson Square 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (23 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice small neighborhood park, more of a playground for children. Not from this area but was looking for a place to walk around

★★★★☆ — Melanie , Nov 2021

My kids had a blast here. It has a good bike/walking trail, two great playgrounds, an area to play basketball, and a pavilion.

★★★★★ — Rachelle , Nov 2020

★★★★★ — Gary , Sep 2025
