Confirmed from Wall 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.

“Well kept sidewalks make walking, skating or even riding bikes around it smooth.”

Good Walking sidewalk. Good disc golf course and skatepark. Currently raising money to replace the playground. Several great gazebos for get togethers.

★★★★☆ — Micheal , Dec 2021

Wall Park has a nice paved walking trail around it, with benches and swings along the way for resting. There's a great skateboard park, and an adorable covered playground in the baseball fields for kids. Its a pretty area. It'd be great for a picnic under one of the covered shelters!

★★★★★ — Becki , Sep 2021

This is a great park. Well kept sidewalks make walking, skating or even riding bikes around it smooth. Plenty of grassy space and multiple play areas for different ages or kids. The walking path connects with lakeside park and the frisbee golf runs threw both parks as well.

★★★★★ — Lisa , Jan 2020

lots of trees along the path to stop and cool off under. Like that it's two parks connected by a pond and the skate park look like it was good condition. The baseball and softball batting cages are a cool feature. They even have a covered playground which I don't see many

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
