Confirmed from Pecan Valley 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.
Serene green space with walking/biking trails, fishing spots, picnic tables & seasonal wild flowers.
What runners say about Pecan Valley Park
“The grass is well maintained and it is never crowded.”
“Huge trees so even on a hot day it's still shaded.”
I nice little hidden gem in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. Really unique hiking trails with some cool bmx ramps in the mix. Lots of wildlife to be seen. Plenty of spring time flowers throughout the trails as well.
The greens were absolutely perfect to hold and to put on as well. Fairways were mowed and soft for this time of year. We were all surprized how well the hills were being maintained. We played the river course two weeks ago and it was in its usual good shape.
The birding and walking and cycling are all excellent there. Cemented walking/ cycling path, nice and wide. Huge trees so even on a hot day it's still shaded. Picnic tables and grills , benches for a rest. Portapottie restrooms. You won't be disappointed. Oh.. good parking also.
Great place for any level hiker .Well manicured trails and easy to read sign markers
