Confirmed from Pecan Grove 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.
Waterfront park offering 2 playgrounds, an open-air amphitheater & fishing in Dean Gilbert Lake.
What runners say about Pecan Grove Park
“Everything was clean and well maintained.”
“This park is beautiful with a lake you can fish.”
This park is beautiful with a lake you can fish. There is a disc golf course in the woods you can hike but I walked the sidewalk around the park. It is safe and a lovely place to walk if you don't have alot of time.
Sorry. We just did a very slow "drive thru", but it was a lovely setting. Trees, trees, trees. Everything was clean and well maintained. There were also walking trails and other attractions. We will go back soon. My 4 rating is only because we've not been physically on the trails or other attractions.
It's a beautiful place just be careful there is one are designed for frisbee golf ,I didn't knew and I almost got hit multiple times with my kids ,just make sure people see you if you are walking around the area.
