We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Skyline Overlook Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“There are multiple trails to get from the trailhead to the scenic overlook which provides a unique view of downtown which you wouldn't expect to get from the parks entrance.”
Great access to see the Cleveland City skyline. A nice 2 mile hike from the parking lot
Short loop trail with surprising cool overlook of the Cleveland skyline.
Decent trails which seem to be going through a large restoration as of August 2021. There are multiple trails to get from the trailhead to the scenic overlook which provides a unique view of downtown which you wouldn't expect to get from the parks entrance.
I loved this trail. Only thing about it that should be mentioned is the trail has trail cams everywhere.
