Confirmed from Odette Morrow Trail'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.
Trail-laden open area with an exercise area, plus a playground and shade-filled woods.

“Serene and picturesque with long walking trails surrounding Open farm land.”
“Great place to run and its marked of i quarter miles so even without a tracker you could monitor your distance.”
“Large distance for long walks , trails with lots of shade,exercise area,”
Love the trails. Well used by neighborhood families. Wonderful to see parents and kids walking or biking together. I saw a coyote for the first time this week while walking A few months back I saw deer on the trail near Odetta Trails meadow
This is a gem of a park and not busy on a Saturday early afternoon. There are plenty of paved paths and exercise machines that use your own weight as resistance. I loved it. There is only one minus and that's the parking. There's no parking lot and the street parking can be a challenge.
Unfortunately the trail got a little sketch as you were further down, but if your looking for a quick loop for running its a decent spot.
Nice area. Old walnut trees are in the center of the paved loop path. There is free but limited street parking. No bathrooms
