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
Nice park in Paragould that has several different amenities within it. There is a playground, softball fields, and access to the Eight Mile Creek Trail. There is plenty of parking and it is easy to access. It is near many stores and restaurants too, in case you need anything before arriving or after leaving.
A little disappointed after some other parks I've seen. Bathrooms are passable, but only a single paper towel dispenser to several sinks. 4 softball fields surround a small concessions and restrooms building. There isn't adequate signage for which restroom is where though.
Trail conditions & character
“Parking lot is sizable with reasonably maintained lines detailing the various parking spaces.”

Plan your run at Rotary Park
The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- At the trailheadparking, restrooms — reported by runners
