Description

There's a lot going on at this park, including a skate park, swimming pool, softball fields, and Norfolk's largest playground. So if you're already going to the park, bring your bike and enjoy a nice ride around the perimeter. It's a short trail with lots of potential for expansion.

I don't think anyone officially maintains the trails here. This outer loop is the one that people still walk, ride, or run, so it's the only one currently navigable.

Only one difficult root that is unavoidable.

Most of the trail runs next to still water. If you slow down, the mosquitoes will attack!

Easy riding under a canopy of green.

Large root across the trail. One of two blocking your way. This one's not tough.

Take this left just before the bridge. Trail to the right is blocked by downed trees.

There are numerous interconnecting trails at the end of the park along the water. Lots of twists, turns, steep hills and other obstacles.

Overgrown a one and done kinda spot. Not worth driving more than fifteen minutes. Skate park is fun though. 3mi

Overgrown, not maintained by anyone I believe. Some broken glass along the trail as well; be cautious. — 0h 30m
