Confirmed from Pecan Acres 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.
Family-friendly park with picnic areas, a playground, disc golf course, and walking paths.

Love to walk here. Great for everyone if any age. Family outings, picnic, bring my pets. Play all kind of games. Always kept up. Can't imagine how they do it. Close to the college. Plenty of places to rest. Playground equipment is really nice for the kids.
It was a little hard to give this four stars. Only because I'm a bit sour about the parking. I had to wait around for a parking place and when my daughter and I finally walked to the park there was only 3 other kids there... and the parking lot was FULL.
Nice big park! Great place for frisbee golf and walking your dogs. Also has a pretty big playground for little kids. We were there in the winter so there were no leaves on the pecan trees but it was still nice 👍
I had a Great time the trail is amazing and Breezy! Shaded and the course changes. They also had different vendors with refreshments at the end of the trail. I’m excited for more events a runs at Pecan Park.
