Confirmed from William J. Gentry, Jr. Memorial Eco 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 William J. Gentry, Jr. Memorial Eco Park
“Beautiful scenery on your walk, ride or picnic.”
This is a nice little park. People fish here and it’s great for a walk / ride. The trail is a loop around the pond / lake. It’s probably about a mile long. The little park has a shelter with picnic tables, a tiny “library” and a bathroom.
Great park to walk or ride bikes. Wide, paved path (1.5 mi) goes around the scenic pond. Also has picnic pavilions and bathrooms.
Great park! Bathrooms are clean and picnic area is very nice. Beautiful scenery on your walk, ride or picnic.
