One of my favorite running/walking sidewalks is off of Big Horn and Whitelock. I drop my kids off to school and then head over there to get my daily exercise in.
I start on Big Horn and head towards Bruceville. The sidewalks are well maintained and lined with rose bushes. I can get a good two miles in doing this pathway. I always feel safe, there is some shade and a bunch of great spots to stop at.
Halfway through you can stop at Promenade Park to take a breather or stretch. This park has a beautiful fountain, grass area and exercise area.
If you cross the street you will run into Oasis Park. I love to stop here to let my doggie run around at the dog park. The playground is also a good bribe to get your kids to stay in the stroller while you are running.
