We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Tookany park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Cool nature spots, very clean, lots of parking.”

My go to place for a run. I have to run twice the length of the trail to get in my miles, but it is still more pleasant than running on a treadmill.

★★★★★ — Susan , Jul 2023

This is a good, safe park to visit. I personally enjoy the walking trails for my exercise routine. There is a scenic route also behind the creek that is a nice cool walking path to take.
