Confirmed from The Rake and Hoe Garden 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.
What runners say about The Rake and Hoe Garden Park
The slide in this picture does not exist. Not a playground just a small walk through of a corner lot but beautiful flowers and trees and full of pollinators and birds!
