Confirmed from Rackham 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.

“Amazing park with beautiful wildlife!”

This is a well kept quiet little park made for relaxing. No play sets or amenities but there are a slew of businesses within rock throwing distance. This is a great place for a quick lunchtime picnic of walk to get away from the city streets.

★★★★★ — Michael , Sep 2025

Everything about this park is wonderful! While I was there to shoot in the river I noticed many people walking their dogs, convenient parking, outdoor dining and clean community ❤️

★★★★★ — Sayles , Sep 2024

Absolutely beautiful park! Perfect for a nice walk, and some nature sights. Lots of birds in the water. A bunch of shaded areas to sit and relax!
