Confirmed from Oak Grove 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Very peaceful small town park!”

This was a great stopping point on our road trip. There was a nice playground with a wide Paved walking track.

This place is very special to me ... Met my first love here... 25 yrs later had baby shower here.. Nice people clean and nice place... Work release guys work hard to keep it this way.... My mom brought me as kid 3 nights a w/o at least now at 34 I bring my own children they play while I walk... Love this place

★★★★★ — Jennifer , Sep 2017

Clean. Plenty of space to run around. Has a jogging track. The play area isn't huge and can get crowded pretty easily. Also, never go on the first Wednesday of the month around lunch. The tornado test siren is right next to the park and it will scare your kids to death.

★★★★★ — Will , Jul 2019

I love it there. I like that I can walk the walking tract and see my kids playing at all times. They've added a jungle gym and slide that the kids love. They still have the spinning wheel and see saw. I just wish it had a little more shade.

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.
