Confirmed from Stallings Road 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.

Well maintained park, offering tons of shade and fun. SRP has tennis courts, baseball field, walking trails, and a nice jungle gym. We had the entire park to our selves for a while, which was nice.

★★★★★ — Gavin , Jan 2020

MON 2025.07.14 after my walk at Harrisburg Park, ~07:40 i came to Stallings Road Park for a "cool down" walk. The Park was well-maintained and clean. Encountered only ~2 people on-the-trail. And noticed many Tennis Players in theTennis Courts.

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.
