Confirmed from Pennzoil McManus 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.

Cute little park. Has been around since I was a kid. Glad it’s still here for my daughter to enjoy it. Has a nice walking track with lights. Swings, benches, and a toddler play are and big kid area. Both play sets have are 20+ years old, but they have held up good over time.

Pennzoil park has been a wonderful place for fun and exercise for generation's of our family and our friends!! Shaded by trees adults can walk the walking trail any time of day. Enclosed inside the walking track are swing's, slides, climbing structures and a covered gazebo. Great place to bring the kids!!

★★★★★ — Cindy , Sep 2018

Good park. Equipment is in good shape and it is well shaded. There is a bigger playset and then a smaller one more suited for toddlers. The swing set has regular and bucket swings. There is a walking track, benches & they have a couple of gazebos as well.

★★★★★ — Jonae , May 2019

The only park with decent shade! This is my go to park, my three year old loves the playground and I love how it has a walking track around it.

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.
