Confirmed from Bicentennial 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.

well-maintained 6 mentions

“It was clean , spacious, has a playground for the kids, picnic tables so that you can have an outing with the family”

🌳 shaded & cool 4 mentions

“Shaded picnic area, and shaded kiddy playground.”

Nice park, kind of deep in the neighborhood, which is really dark at night. It's brand new & very nice looking. Has walking trails a bridge & is kept really clean. Great for a family picnic or a birthday party. There is plenty of room for throwing a football around or playing soccer. It has a huge baseball field.

★★★★☆ — Kimberly , Apr 2024

Restrooms — yay! Fully paved; so bring your walker or scooter. Baseball diamond; so bring your mitt. It's even got a four station workout trail; so bring your lazy behind! Shaded picnic area, and shaded kiddy playground. Nice and quiet. Surprise library and civic centers only one street over. What a gem!

★★★★★ — David , Feb 2022

It's a nice place too take your dog for a walk on the trails and you can always pitch stop at the 3workout stations right off the trail if you really want to get your work good cardio👍🌑🐕🚶‍♂️

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.

🚻 Restrooms 12 mentions

“The restrooms actually have toilet paper because with 4 kids, I have to always bring some because there's never any in the park restrooms.”
