Confirmed from Almondridge 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.

Great park! I used to take my kids here all the time when they were little. I love that the park area is padded for any trips and tumbles. Huge grass area, enclosed tennis courts,and baseball field. They're are drinking fountains and areas for barbecuing.

★★★★★ — The , Aug 2019

Beautiful and tranquil...has 2 tennis courts... The grounds are well maintained...tons of people walk their dogs and play fetch ... Has a kids play area also

★★★★★ — Robert , Mar 2025

It is a great park! I wish the paths connected around the park and not just at the center and to the exit/entrance areas. I also wish there a was little dog park so I could let my dogs run in a space off leash. But, overall it is my favorite place to walk every day.

★★★★☆ — Rebekah , Jul 2020

place was nice and quiet, but my jogging was distirbed by an unleash pit bull. The dog was looking at me like it want to chase me a couple of times, so decide to jog on the outside area of park.

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.
