Confirmed from Palmer 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.

I've been here before to meet up with people at the tables, but never to walk around. Let me tell you something, this park is one of the best places to go to for a stroll. There's a lot of tree coverage, but also open spaces as well. Along with that, the trails are both paved and unpaved.
What a beautiful park! There are so many different paths to take, and I love how intimate the skinny paved trails feel. Perfect for fall 🥰 and great for pictures so long as you have willing participants! 😅
What a hidden gem in Wyoming area. Nice park with easy trails. Never crowded so it is very quiet and peaceful. Has outdoor playground and public restrooms with picnic tables.
