Confirmed from Student 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.
Tranquil park with rock-climbing areas, picnic tables, fire pits and grassy areas.
What runners say about Student Park
“Beautiful areas to walk to and just a beautiful quiet nature setting.”
Nice trail in this park that runs along a creek bed. It also runs into a cemetery that is paved that you can walk around too. The bathrooms 🚻 weren't available to the public. Maybe the students have key cards but not sure.
Great park, gets kinda nasty when it has been raining, so wouldn't advise going after rain, it gets really muddy. Other than that, great hangout area: nicely lit trails, great rocks to climb(idk if u need permission though?)🤷🏻♀️
Rustic accommodations, a shelter with picnic tables, a fire pit, and some restroom facilities near the parking area. Beautiful areas to walk to and just a beautiful quiet nature setting.
Great area with good picnic tables and a pretty creek. Very close to the Collegedale Greenway as well which adds walking opportunity.
