Confirmed from Ridgeland 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.

“Clean park, covered picnic tables, lighted trails for walking after dark, safe.”

Great little park that is more than meets the eye. Two laps on walking path is easily 7,000 steps. Pathways are always clean. Has a nice restroom and playground set. Also has a small arrangement of workout equipment. Very nice place. Also has a vending machine for refreshments if you forget yours.
