Confirmed from Parker Street Landing'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.
What runners say about Parker Street Landing
“Beautiful and peaceful area!”
“Great trail to escape the city for a brief moment.”
Beautiful and peaceful area! Very nicely kept. Great trial for biking, walking dog, running, area to fish and get into a kayak.
I just like how they fixed up that area and the coolest thing I've ever seen is those concrete lattice pieces that are laying down on the landing ground, the driveway. They have grass growing in between them. I really want that type of concrete lattice for my yard because I have dogs that tore up all my grass.
Great trail to escape the city for a brief moment. There is a well maintained kayak ramp that provides easy and clear access to the river.
Pleased for the extended trail. Several parking spots. The water today smelled a bit strong Good place to walk, bike and run. Macadeum, so need to touch to determine if it is too hot for dogs Paws in the warmer months.
