Confirmed from Ann Van Middlesworth 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.

“Beautiful park, clean, relaxing and nice place to bring kids or walk your dogs.”

Lovely park any season of the year. Plenty of room to walk your dog. Playground, skateboarding, baseball & basketball- something for the whole family.

★★★★★ — Janet , Nov 2019

Large expansive park with a wide variety of options to enjoy a day outside. There are baseball/softball fields, a pond for fishing, skate park, playground, picnic grounds, walking path, basketball court, dog park, and bathrooms. If it's crowded parking can be complicated, but there is plenty of it.

★★★★★ — Kevin , Apr 2026

Nice park with a garden, fishing lake, dog park, bathrooms and sports fields. It has a decent, flat walking trail.

★★★★☆ — Hemidell , Sep 2017

I went to this park yesterday and I enjoyed every minute of it. Came here with a friend for the nature walk. And saw a cute rabbit (as pictured). The fountains here in the lakes were mesmerizing and the park was pretty peaceful. I absolutely love it!

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.
