Confirmed from Possum Hollow 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.
Tree-lined green space with 2 softball fields, 2 multi-use fields & a rentable picnic pavilion.
What runners say about Possum Hollow Park
“Restrooms were clean and well supplied.”
There is a walk trail, a nice basketball court, and a good area to hold a picnic, but not much after dark lighting out there.
Just came back from a family reunion. Had a great time reuniting with loved ones I hadn't seen in a while. But this is a review of this park, so here we go. There was a basketball court. It was very large & looked to be in great shape There was also a children's playground; there were swings & other children equipment.
Great park for all types of events and Clean bathrooms My dog loved the park and the playground has lots of fun things for the kids to play and run around The pinic area is spacious and most of all no flies
Great to take your dog and let her run around a little bit was our first time there we had a great time
Trail conditions & character
Plan your run at Possum Hollow Park
The practical stuff
- AccessDawn to dusk — the gates close, so do not plan a run that finishes after dark
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
