Confirmed from Texarkana Parks & Recreation'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.

Very nice park with plenty of equipment for the kids, an exercise area for 14+ and a free splash pad for the kids. Nice trails to walk that go around the little lake. Would recommend and come back.

Beautiful park! We are from Kansaa City, here for a family reunion, decided to stop at the park. It was very relaxing. Huge walking trail, playgrounds for kids, huge pond where you can fish If you have a license. There is a Dock over the pond. Also a big covered Exercise area, that was cool!

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.
