Confirmed from Ambassador 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.
Park with a playground, picnic areas, soccer field, and tennis courts, plus a trail.

Soggy right now. Didn't have a track like it advertised on Google maps. But it has a concrete sidewalk that loops around the perimeter. Cute and simple.
