Confirmed from Paragould Parks & Recreation'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.

“Clean area, benches for watching your kids play, plenty of things for kids of all ages to play on.”

We're mainly here for soccer games, but they have several other amenities including an indoor pool, softball fields, a paved trail around the park, and a small playground. The city seems committed to maintaining and even upgrading the area.

★★★★★ — Curtis , Apr 2023

Great place for soccer and other things. Bathrooms are usually clean and nice. I believe they are heated and cooled as well unlike most. Community Center building has clean bathrooms as well. Fields are nice with nice thick grass that isn't too short. Usually no bare spots ever.

★★★★★ — Josh , Jun 2023

It is a great place for the entire family to relax or exercise. From swimming pools, a splash pad, soccer and softball fields, and a long, paved walking trail. Also, a pavilion and a kid safe fenced playground. Tax money well spent.

★★★★★ — James , Apr 2024

This is a great park with baseball and soccer fields and a really nice pool. Had to take one star because the soccer fields aren't lit, and the evening games in the fall run out of daylight fast!

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.

🚻 Restrooms 5 mentions
