Confirmed from Olive Branch 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.
135-acre community park offers tennis courts & ball fields, a playground, 3 lakes & an amphitheater.
What runners say about Olive Branch City Park
“It’s well kept and if the sun is out, you can guarantee there will be people there enjoying it.”
“Multiple baseball/softball complexes, football area, the track needs improvement, but the walking/ running trail is scenic and good.”
“They also have a couple of nice shady dog parks but nobody was there at the time I went.”
I was very impressed with the park. It has a paved walking trail and a small dirt trail. The dirt trail was maybe a half mile. I didn't see any signs indicating the length. The trail was nice, very wide with information on the types of trees ... lots of squirrels... benches if you need or want to sit...
Beautiful park. There is so much to do. Fish, baseball/softball field, tennis court, play volleyball, huge playground for children and has areas for children in wheelchairs to swing and play. Wonderful place for walking or just to sit and enjoy the beauty around you.
Such a nice park to come walk around or just sit by the pond. It’s well kept and if the sun is out, you can guarantee there will be people there enjoying it. Walking path, baseball fields, running track, large grass areas, plenty of places to sit, tons of picnic tables.
Beautiful and clean park. Various walking and bike paths. Tennis Courts and kids play area and much more. I didn't get to see everything during my family reunion but will come back to explore on a future visit.
