Confirmed from Nottingham Downs 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.

“Good greenery calm and peaceful.”

Well hidden park in Overland Park. A lovely walking trail. Really cool stream to explore for kids. No playground, and only a couple very old picnic tables and benches sprinkled throughout the park.

★★★★★ — Colin , Apr 2021

A great trail to walk along side the waterstream. Good greenery calm and peaceful.

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.
