Confirmed from Phil Moore 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.

“This is a huge and well maintained park.”

“Great dog park! My dog always loves to get some energy out.”

This is my dog and mine's go-to spot on the weekends. Outside of any scheduled events, the park is never crowded. Plus, it is so large and open that there is plenty of room elsewhere. I can take my dog off leash and let him really run without worrying about interfering or being interfered with.

Plenty of spots to go bank fishing at Drake's creek. Don't be fooled, there is some nice sized fish in there. I really like how they keep it mowed on the edge of the tree line.. if you don't fish, I did see some walking trail's. To the people who do maintain this park you do a hella of a job. ✌🏼😎

Nice place, nice people, dog loves it! So far everyone is cleaning up after their dogs. Only issues is that I wish it had some trees for shade. That would be great for our hot Summer days.

★★★★★ — Craigs , Feb 2020

This is a huge and well maintained park. It extends along Drake's Creek and has plenty of trails and shady spots to fish and enjoy the peaceful flow of the creek.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 10 mentions

“It looked like it has a large dog park area separate from the other park area.”
