Confirmed from William Bill Hughes 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-maintained 3 mentions

🐕 dog-walking favorite 5 mentions

“The south side has the basketball court, soccer field, dog park, and a walking path.”

The shape of this park is very strange and unique. There are two large grassy areas separated by a stretch of bike trail. Onehas a playground and the other has a basketball court, field, and a dog park. The restrooms are up by the tennis court.

★★★★★ — Ryan , Mar 2022

It is a peaceful and beautiful park. Everyone knows that dogs are the best place for a walk. So, while cleaning up dog secretions is natural, some dog owners go home without doing the basics.

★★★★★ — Nb , Nov 2022

Nice walk up and down creek with some hill work. Good restrooms and kids play area and grass for dogs, soccer.

★★★★☆ — Paul , Jul 2021

I come out here to just play basketball and it's a great park to do so. if you come during weekday/weekend nights in the summer, expect a crowd to be out there running 5 on 5. Everyone out there is also pretty friendly and would be willing to pick up players to run 5's.

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.
