Confirmed from Boardman 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.

“Saw alot of dog walking,picnic area where we were was clean.”

A nice park containing a playground for the kids with miniature obstacle course for the bigger ones, a nice hill tops this off which provides both a splendid view and sleding point, as you move past it you will find a nice path which contains ponds to your left and berries to your right which my family picks and eats…

Love to walk the dogs there. Very peaceful. Wish they had more bench's around the trail tho. Only one in the whole park. Older residents would use the park more if they could rest a few minutes occasionally.

Went there with my daughter and her husband and their toddler and it was awesome! Beautiful warm day. The trees were beginning to bud. I helped my grandson down the twisty slide about a hundred times lol. Took him for a walk on the pathway. BEAUTIFUL park ❣️

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.

⛰️ Hills / elevation 5 mentions

“Great place to take the kids for sledding nice sled Hill and they have a walking path in the springtime for exercise”
