Confirmed from Taylor-Brawner 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.

Historical park with 10 acres . Lots of happenings from Birthday celebrations to food truck Tuesdays during summer . More lively with new born babies to old age people spending leisure time . Kids enjoy slides , swing , riding scooters , bi cycles etc . Lively Amphitheater on Tuesdays with music .

★★★★★ — Arun , Aug 2019

The park is beautiful and the people are friendly, it's nice to be greeted with a smile and a " Good Morning or Hello". There are plenty of benches, and hanging bench swings to sit on and take in the serene beauty of the park.

★★★★★ — Brae , Oct 2024

Great place to play with your kids or for just a walking with your dog. Also a great location to make an event. You can rent their space inside the main building. Super well maintained, lot of green grass, tress, playgrounds, gazebo, picnic area, fountain, huge parking lot and side walks for a walking or even running.

★★★★★ — Lincoln , Dec 2019

Gorgeous park, perfect place for picnics, walking, jogging, or just to take the kids to play on one of the two playground setups. Lots of great Smyrna events are held here. Plenty of parking, clean bathrooms, shaded areas, just about everything you could want out of a park. So many great memories here.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 9 mentions

“There's a kids playground area where I do my pullups after every run, they have water fountains (even low ones for dogs!”
