A bit surprised to see that anyone would rate it anything but Easy. It is, as the description correctly says, a 10' wide, paved, urban trail. Perhaps if you are strolling along on a MTB, getting in time out of the way of faster roadies may be a bit of a challenge :) Nov 15, 2017

I love me some City Park! I've been riding it for years and it still both humbles me and brings a smile to my face.
