Confirmed from Swift Cantrell 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.
Playgrounds, trails & picnic pavilions in a 130-acre recreation area including dog & skate parks.

“Terrific playground for the kids of all ages, with playground equipment of different levels of difficulty.”
Great park where my son and I can go for a walk or jog on their trail. Also they have 2 large playgrounds for kids to play on. I enjoy the turf instead of real grass on the playground. Nice clean environment. You can bring your dogs 🐶 to the park as well and that's a plus 💪🏾

This is a great park for the whole family! I came out for a walk, and the trail around the park is one mile long. They have some great trees and also a lot of wide open spaces. There are multiple playgrounds and bathrooms available - they even have a skate park and a dog park! It was also very clean.
A very gorgeous and spacious park located in Kennesaw. There is a skatepark and a huge children playground with plenty of playground equipment to tire out your kids. An enormous picnic area with quite a few picnic tables and plenty of walking trails. This is a one-stop park. I loved it.
