Confirmed from University 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.
Paved trails through woods in a family-friendly setting.

Picturesque park in the middle of suburbia. You will feel like you are walking in a secluded forest, but this small piece of paradise is tucked between many homes in a suburban neighborhood. The locals clearly enjoy the trails for morning walks (with or without a canine companion). The paved trails are well maintained.
Beautiful, well maintained neighborhood park in Greenwood, IN, one would love to go frequently for a morning walk or an evening stroll with dear ones. Basketball ground was active with local boys playing and kids in swings and slides.
My youth years were best spent here! Such an awesome park, with such variety of activities on the playground including several swings and slides and the longest monkey bars I’ve ever seen in a community park for all ages!
This place has a deceivingly long trail, when i arrived with my dog I was sure it was just going to be a small circle around the woods but it ended up being a nice 20min walk! Looks like they're in the middle of expanding it now too.
