Confirmed from Peltier 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.
Open site with baseball fields & a playground, a 1-mile walking/running track & seasonal events.

A beautiful jewel of a park nestled into the Nichols College properties, we come here quite often to walk their 1/2 mile wandering track. The grounds are well kept and the oaks are beautiful there, providing shade on 3/4 of the track.
Was really fun. Everything was pretty well maintained and my kid and I had a blast for a good hour or two or three without running out of stuff to do. Made some memories today I will always remember.
This is a nice park. There is a lot of space for the kids to run and play in addition to some different types of play equipment. They recently added a new jungle gym which is also very nice. There is a restroom available. They also have a lot of activities available at the rec center.
