Confirmed from Sullivan 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.

What runners say about Sullivan Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (147 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“It was clean and offered a safe environment for the kids.”

This park is part of the Greenway. It's got awesome play stations for kids, and you can walk from park to park. There is even go to the dog park for Fiddo! Historic 7th in downtown Hendersonville is a good side trip with funky shops and fun restaurants too

★★★★★ — Sandy , Apr 2019

Nice clean and safe. Playground, covered and lighted basketball courts, pavilion, tables and grills. Also gives bike or walking access to Jackson, Patton and Berkley parks in 2.5 miles or less. All parks have a little different theme.

★★★★★ — Gerry , Apr 2021

The park is nice and the weather was perfect for a nice day at the park. There is a lot of space to move around and a great walking path nearby!

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.
