We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Parker Road Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Parker Road Park
Nice little, well-maintained park with a .5 mile gravel walking trail that includes a pond (one duck when I visited), some benches, picnic tables, and a basketball court. At one end of the trail (depending on where you start) are two big picnic shelters with tables. In that same area is some nice playground equipment.

The practical stuff
- AccessHours vary — hours are not posted for this trail, so check before an early or late run
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
