Confirmed from Orr 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.
Tree-filled park featuring a playground and a creek, plus baseball and soccer fields.

Great stop to enjoy nature, art, and stretch legs from a long drive. Not far from the interstate, this park has a nice walking trail, picnic tables, clean restrooms, and fabulous tree carvings. There is also a small shallow creek that several children were enjoying.
By far one of my favorite parks! Very safe for the most part, a beautiful place, full of wood carvings on trees! A beautiful Park right next to the river, with a huge walking trail!
Such a beautiful park! It was such a relaxing break from driving. The carvings all around the paved walking area are stunning!
