Confirmed from S.T. Morrison 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.

Clean park. Has a pond and ducks walking around. Lots of trees. Love this park.This park also has Farmers market on Monday evenings. Nice market and a selection of goods. Next to the city pool. Beautiful area. The farmers market has fresh veggies and fruits, eggs, meats, jams, baked goods and crafts.

Nice park for the kids! Plenty of space, room for parents and grandparents to sit. Options for shade too. Has a swimming pool, walking trail and a tennis court. Parking is a bit of a walk to the park, not too bad though.

★★★★★ — Nathan , Oct 2022

Very fun places to let the kids burn off some extra energy. It's nice and shaded most of the time. They have a water fountain nearby. The only downside is there's not a restroom in the general area nearby.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
