Confirmed from Old City 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.

Beautiful landscape, nice walking paths, Bocci ball, lots of benches, and children's play area in the middle of Greenwood. We also enjoyed exploring the area near the Library and Amphitheater.

★★★★★ — Susan , Sep 2022

Very beautiful and greenish adjacent to Greenwood City Library and near the Amphi Theatre. Lot of walk area for all and play features for children and cycling. Maintained neat and tidy. One can relax and feel cool in company of friends.

★★★★★ — Venkatasubramaniam , Aug 2025

This place is awesome from the slides to the rock climbing and the turf hills. Updated and remodeled. Also has Mrs Curls ice cream and walk away to grab some treats after a lovely day at the park.

★★★★★ — Koren , Sep 2022

Great city park for everyone, jogging, walking, playground, pitch and catch you can do it all here. We even saw some kids wading in the creek. A short walk to the ampitheater or a local ice cream shop.

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.
