Confirmed from Wilbur D. Mills 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.

“Beautiful park with lots of shady trails and a large playground - my kids had such a great time!”

Mills Park is a great place for kids. There is a new playground and it is very nice. Walking track is great and it's a good nature trail. Nice clean restrooms. Pavilions to sit and eat, have birthday parties, or just sit and enjoy the outdoors. Dogs are allowed.

★★★★★ — Eugenia , Nov 2018

Lots of fun & always a great place to unwind. The playground is great for kids & there are walking & biking trails that are scenic & as challenging as you want to make them. This is a great place for relaxation. There are multiple pavillions, tennis courts, a basketball court, and a baseball/softball area as well.

★★★★☆ — Christina , Jun 2019

It's a great park with lots to do for every age! There's a big kids playground, a little kids playground, and a swing set all inside a fenced area so your kids can run around without worrying they'll run off or get lost. There's also plenty of other room to run around and pavilions. It's a really nice park.

★★★★★ — Josh , Feb 2020

Nice well kept Park with a playground, swimming pool, restrooms and a track around the interior of the park and a large area of trails through the woods both paved and natural. The path trails can take up to about an hour to walk depending on the trail. Lots of wildlife. Dog friendly.

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.
