Confirmed from The Gailey Trail at Nicholls 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.
Nature-filled expanse with shaded trails for walking and hiking.

Beautiful walking trail to get away from everything. Quiet and relaxing as you are transported to a nature trail you would not believe is in the middle of a city.
One of our favorite places! Beautiful flat little hiking/walking trail that is stroller friendly. Fun little bridges and wooded hideouts for kids to play
I love this little trail. It has benches and so many trees. It would be hard to get a stroller down the hill at the beginning, but once down there it should be fine; as long as you don't plan on going across the very steep bridges.
