Confirmed from Trail Head 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 Trail Head Park
This is a nice little park on the north end of downtown. It is where the Watco walking trail actually starts, so we like walking from there. They have a nice little parking lot and a bathroom. Every time I have been here it has been very well-kept and a nice bench and shady sitting area.
I really liked this trail it’s simple and I felt safe walking alone with my headphones in. not a lot of scenery but it’s a good trail to walk
Its great for ppl to walk thru the trial and hopefully they add more on trial park more enjoyable and memory the beautiful day at trail park
