We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of O'Donnell Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about O'Donnell Park
There are several places to park along the way to the trail head in the southern part. The trail follows the path into Longview lake and is partially paved. The surface is best for trail bikes and mountain bikes, as well as runners and walkers.
A very nice yet secluded park near Longview. I went when it was nice and foggy out, so there weren't many people. The trails are clean and well maintained, with some interesting bridges and such along the way. There's also cornhole/horseshoe game areas along with a baseball field.
The trails are in great shape. Its beautiful but part of the path is shut down.
