Confirmed from Pecan 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.

Small park with a playground, a small walking trail, and gorgeous oaks!

★★★★★ — Misty , Apr 2023

Small, no frills, neighborhood park with a short walking track and some playground equipment. Usually quiet. My daughters and their friends spent a lot of happy times there when they were younger.

★★★★☆ — Tom , Jun 2018

It's a clean place to walk your dog or turn your kids lose to play on the playground. It also serves as an access to a small trail system at the back left corner, from the entrance of the park.

★★★★☆ — Chris , Feb 2017

Traveling through, needed a place to get out and stretch and enjoy the air and Remy (our pup the Westie) needed to walk ~ gorgeous, shaded, trees with short walking trail made it perfect!

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.

  • DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
