Confirmed from Old Settlers 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.
What runners say about Old Settlers Park
Nice city park right next to a swimming pool, plenty of parking, green areas a trail and a covered pavilion that can fit around 6 big picnic tables. It has a playground for little kids and also a very cool one for big kids. Many trees/shaded areas.
Beautiful place to walk your dog, go for a run, or even relax with your significant other.
