Confirmed from Old Town House 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.

Bring my son here regularly. My older daughter enjoys the swings and my son plays with the other kids. Then we can walk around the track and hop onto the bike trail for a stroll. Huge soccer fields, baseball fields, clean playground. Fun place for a day out.

Right on the bike 'Rails to Trails' which runs for 30 plus miles. Great park with all kinds of things to do. Restrooms are clean and well kept. Park was very clean. Great starting area for our ride!

★★★★★ — Jay , Jul 2022

Fantastic, family-friendly park with a great playground. Basketball courts, hiking and biking trails. Lots to do, shaded picnic area and clean bathroom facilities. Plus, they have a full soccer field and other activities. Highly recommended.

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.
