Confirmed from Tex Spruiell 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.
Park featuring basketball hoops and a playground amid shade trees.
What runners say about Tex Spruiell Park
“Very clean and large, perfect place for outdoor activities.”
“Very open, has a nice playground, and has lots of good shade”
UPDATE: The grass aeration happened, and the park is covered with chunks of soil, so no waking or running on the grass. They also applied fertilizer, which has string smell, and may not be safe for breathing or getting on your hands...
Useful park with a winding . 33 mile loop. Perfect for running. The tree roots are starting to lift the paved path so watch your step
