Confirmed from Rotary 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.
What runners say about Rotary Park
“With plenty of shade and a soothing atmosphere, this park is the perfect spot to catch some Zs - just make sure you don't end up rolling over onto the gentleman in the bushes!”
“If you're looking for a peaceful place to take a nap, this park definitely has you covered.”
If you're looking for a peaceful place to take a nap, this park definitely has you covered. In fact, one gentleman seemed to have already discovered that fact, as he was cozily snoozing in the bushes with a 40oz.
Nice small park. Great shade for a sunny day. Do not expect a big park but it has all is needed to sit down and relax.
Small park that takes you deep into a wooded haven difficult to find within Canton or North Canton. It is quiet, with sounds of roads and neighborhoods muffled by the trees. The trail itself is a loop, about a half mile or so, running through the woods, then alongside to join back to itself.
In simple terms: a wooded area (lots of underbrush and taller trees) with a circle path, with one picnic table, one bench, and a Little Free Library station. Plus, lots of happy hoppy robins and chipmunks. Nice asphalt parking lot. Small but sufficient.
