Confirmed from Pitchford 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.

What runners say about Pitchford Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (49 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Such a great park! SO happy about the dog park they built. Can get a little muddy but hopefully they will add to it more (sand or gravel right near the front of the gate gets the most mud) as they really start opening up and finishing projects. Can't wait to see what more will be added to this park in the future!

★★★★★ — Marie , Feb 2024

A Great New Park with tennis court, pickle ball courts, children and family areas, joggers trail and dog haven

★★★★★ — Michael , Sep 2024

Always looking for new parks to take my nephews to. This was a nice Park. It had lots of playground equipment for the kids to play on. There was some for younger kids and some for older kids.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth , Sep 2024

Really nice and new park. Everything is in great condition. More entertaining for those 5 and under but plenty of room for kids to run around. The pickleball and tennis courts are really nice

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.

“It did have a nice bathroom area with covered picnic tables so that was nice and it did have a dog park attached to it but it kind of looked like you had to pay for it”
