Confirmed from Bird 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.
Neighborhood park offering a picnic pavilion, trails, and a soccer field, plus benches and a fire pit.

I was in between business meetings and thought I'd take a walk in this park. It is small but there are multiple trails and all well kept. The sections closer to the streets are a bit noisy because of the cars but the more internal parts are very calm. Most of the trails seem to bring to the soccer field.
