Confirmed from Pulaski 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.

“It's a nice, quiet park with plenty of benches.”

It's a nice, quiet park with plenty of benches. The view is ok even tho it overlooks a reservoir which kinda kills the view it could have been. The landscapers could be more detailed and caring, but they just seem to want to mow and leave. It's kind of a disappointment, but it's still a nice park for a walk.

★★★★☆ — Madison , Sep 2019

Beautiful and quiet park. Older trees make for lots of shade and look like they'd be great for climbing. There is a sprinkler park, skate park, playground and lots of benches. Great place to go for a walk and see the river from afar. A total hidden gem.

★★★★★ — Alison , Jul 2020

Neat view of the damn, its fun to walk on the ??fence?? Ledge could probably be cleaned up a bitbut that could be said about any city park really

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.
