Confirmed from Probst 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 Probst Park
“Beautiful clean greenspace, well kept walking trails.”
“Smoke rise is a beautiful neighborhood with big old trees and deserves to have a nice park.”
“Now, as a contractor, it's a perfect, quiet spot for me to stop and walk my dogs during the day since they come to work with me.”
A great short walking trail. The path is gravel downgrade and upgrade not wheelchair accessible. See picture for length of trail. Was a very well thought out and built Park. Showing some age now but still a good place to visit. Has mature trees other foliage even saw a black snake.
I've always enjoyed this park. It's really a small path, but it offers a nice change of pace from the larger, more crowded parks nearby. I have many great memories here from growing up in the neighborhood across the way years ago!
Use the parking lot at the start. Gravel t rail with a little bit of elevation change. Basically a rim trail around a little hollow with a creek and small lake. There are a couple of spots to stop and sit, a gazebo and an overlook.
The pictures I am sharing of the park are actually from the parking lot. There is no sidewalk leading to the park entrance and so you should go to the parking lot park and there is a trail from the parking lot.
