Confirmed from Asa Bales 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.

“People of all ages enjoy this park.”

Great park! Skate park, playground, a few picnic shelters, a paved walking trail, and a disc golf course! It's worth a visit!

★★★★★ — Alex , Mar 2022

The park has a nice disc golf course. It is a good practice course. It is short but technical. It is a 9 hole course with 2 sets of starting points to make it an 18 hole course. If you have enough discs you can play 18 holes in a 9 hole distance.

★★★★☆ — Tim , Jul 2021

Great park! The playground is a lot of fun, with astroturf. The bathrooms are very clean and it has a skate park next to the playground. The walking paths are paved and well landscapes.

★★★★★ — Beth , Jul 2021

Barktoberfest was a blast. Great park to put on a doggy event for such a good cause. Plenty of grass area with shade trees around the perimeter.

★★★★★ — Stephen , Oct 2021

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.
