Confirmed from Adam Tallman 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.

“This scantily marked park contains a shady, paved loop around two protected wetland areas.”

Someone posted a photo of a playground. Took my kid here because I saw a photo of a playground. Stop posting irrelevant photos. Otherwise... nice little park and nature trail. We liked it. P.S. Stop posting irrelevant photos.

★★★★☆ — Johnathon , Jun 2018

Paved mostly shaded path. Perfect for scooters or strollers. Goes around large pond. Loops back to parking lot after a 35min.

★★★★★ — J , Jul 2022

This scantily marked park contains a shady, paved loop around two protected wetland areas. Periodic wooden platforms with benches overlook the ponds. The park is bigger than it appears, extending across the street, with the trail continuing behind the business complex.

★★★★★ — Kristen , Aug 2017

Neat little trail hike with a pond, but not a full loop. will need to back track, make akward path or crossroad road without cross walk to get back to where you start

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.
