We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Steward Park 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.

Nice mile long circle through the woods get to see a clear rock bottom creek with a dam and there is also an old piece of machinery just a bit off the trail. Not much parking if Klatt field is locked.
Great trails winding through the woods and clear watered creek right in Plano!
It's cool here. Play equipment is VERY old but they keep it up. There are two large covered areas with grills for picnics. About a 1 mile long path across the street follows the creek and every so often you can catch a view of the trains passing by on the bridge overhead.
This park is a hidden gem. The trails are excellent, leading through a wooded area, along a creek. There's some really scenic views of the creek along the trail and it's so peaceful to hear the creek flowing on by.
