Confirmed from Richardson Parks & Recreation'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 Richardson Parks & Recreation
“Beautiful park, waters, trails to spend time walking or participating in events/sports.”
Beautiful park, waters, trails to spend time walking or participating in events/sports.
This is one of the best hiking trails in the state as far as I'm concerned. The soccer field in the baseball field is large enough for a very large gathering. The ducks are very communicative but they will not talk to you because they think that you are invading their home so beware and stay away from them.
Really nice long and pleasant walking path with several shade trees to block the bright piercing sun on very hot days. Nice :)
