Comments:

I walked the Joe B Freeman Park to the Play For All Park and back, which was a little over 6 miles.  The trail has several different moods--the Freeman Park area is a shady tunnel through the woods, then there is a stretch that goes through and behind a subdivision, then you follow a busy road over a big bridge and cross over to reach another more natural area that connects to the Play For All Park.  The two woodsy sections were pleasant, but the subdivision and road are a bit more exposed than I would ideally like. The whole trail is paved, which isn't really my cup of tea (hard on the feet and joints), but is probably good for accessibility purposes.  There were a fair few cyclists on the trail as well.  The creek is a pleasant touch.
