Confirmed from Bloch 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.

“They have a beautiful track for walking and a road that leads directly to the waterfront where there's a nice restaurant.”

Just a person passing through on a Sunday. Seems like a nice park. I think I came on a day where people bring thier nice rides. Bumping stereos. I came to walk my dog. People seemed friendly. Nice memorial to War Veterans.

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.
