Confirmed from Sewell 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.

“Such an unusual little park with so many cats wandering around, it almost feels like they run the place, peaceful vibe and kind of charming if you like animals 🙃”

My dog likes this place, so I need to make this review. Besides of walking with your fella, the park is great for having your mind rest. Atmospheric spots, with the views on the river. Besides it's clean and taken care of.

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.
