Confirmed from South 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.

Love this little park. Has a nice covered playground, a walking trail and this pretty little creek. ♡
I loved this park and trail whe. I was in school and revisiting now, I still love it. Wide trail, fully accessible. Never crowded, feels remote and bot part of Copperas Cove at all. Enjoy the sound of running water and the smell of honeysuckle growing wild. Kids playground and plenty of open field space.
