Confirmed from Pharr Mill Road 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.
Park featuring walking paths, play areas and picnic areas.

It's a nice park. There are trails to walk, a lake with turtles and fish, bridges, benches and playground for kids. They have swings There, so even adults can use them. It looks nice and well kept
Great medium sized park with nice paved walking trails and benches throughout the trails and park. There is also a beautiful, well maintained pond. The park also has a volleyball court and playground. Lots of quiet places for me and my Bearded Dragon to relax in the grass 😊
Nice park with good amount of play area for the kids. Though it is not covered and can get hot. There are nice walking trails. Also historic area of the church from back in the 1754 (in photo). Walking trails are nice and shaded a good bit. The pond is nice and there are many turtles.
A nice small park with several good trails to walk and there is a small playground for children. Masks are required at this time.
