Confirmed from Williams 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.

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“They have basketball courts, pavilion for eating and shade.”

This is my favorite park. The playground is small but clean and sturdy, all the swings work, and there's 2 cute dinosaurs to "ride." There's a few tennis courts, basketball courts, 2 baseball fields,and a medium pavilion. In the back of the park there are multiple trails and a few nice walking paths.

Beautiful park with lots of different courts and fields. There is a nice playground with lots of SHADE! It’s nice to able to sit on a bench and watch your kids play and not fry in the sun. There’s a paved path around the park good for walking or biking. I wouldn’t skate it, pavement is pretty degraded in some spots.

We go there to ride the Ellicott Trail on bikes. Just about five miles one way and we like to stop at Blondies for ice cream on the way back through.

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.
