Confirmed from Abe Stone Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Wet, but clean place featuring a playground, a soccer pitch and a pond.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“Peaceful place until the soccer games start!”

Not a bad little park. There's basketball courts, a baseball/soccer field. I don't believe there are any swingsets or playground equipment for the kids but there's plenty of parking, lots of room to play, and it's quiet, not tons of passing traffic either.

★★★★★ — Jose , Oct 2020

It's not changed to much since I was younger. Still a nice place to take your pooch on a walk or go to relax and think.

★★★★☆ — Amanda , Jul 2022

Great place to take the kids fishing or a day at the playground. It's a great place to walk your dog or have lunch .

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
