Confirmed from Royal Palm 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.

Great walking trail set between 2 lakes, very picturesque with some waterbirds. There are marked areas for playtime for the kiddos near entrance area. For sitting, there are benches scattered throughout.
Beautiful Park! Enclosed playground and a beautiful nature trail. 💚🌿🪴🌴🌳
🧘🏾♀️I enjoyed my therapeutic evening Walk. The animals were out socializing. A nice day in the neighborhood park. (1 miles = 2 rounds) There are rest / excerise stops along the way. A diversity neighborhood. I'm glad dogs are not allowed but there's alot of friendly ducks because the neighborhood feed them- love it!!.
