Candler Park is a classic east-side neighborhood park with a small golf course, a pool and big shade trees. The Park Mile route is a 1.3-mile loop around the park's perimeter — short, hilly and friendly.
The route
- Distance: 1.3 miles around the park.
- Terrain: sidewalks and paths with a few honest hills.
- Combine it: Freedom Park Trail is right next door for a longer run and a second medal.
Tips
- Stay off the golf course while you run — keep to the paths and sidewalks.
- Great option for a quick lunch-break medal.
- Neighborhood festivals can close parts of the park on some weekends.
How to unlock the Candler Park medal

- Submit it on the Park Mile Passport page. Once approved, the Candler Park medal unlocks in your passport. It's free.
