Confirmed from Proctor 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.

“Nice park besides the geese and ducks laying land minds throughout the walking path , besides that it's a very nice small peaceful place to ground.”

Great park in greenwood/ Whiteland area. Decent parking for 15 /20 cars. Park does have walkway/ Running way surrounding the kids area. Decent size kids play area in the front of the park and one after the pond as well. 2 sheltered area. NO PARK/ PUBLIC RESTROOM. Catch and release fishing only at pond area.

★★★★★ — Glenn , Jul 2023

Great park, well maintained and clean and even has a second park with a walking trail. Pretty nice park. Kinda on the smaller side but my friends little one and my older children enjoyed it. :)

★★★★☆ — Michelle , May 2018

Loved the atmosphere and the lake in the middle. Looked like they had a decent (possibly 1/4 mile) track around the lake for joggers or walking. They had two playgrounds one for littles and another for the bigger kids. Loved all the veteran dedications.

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.
