Confirmed from Bud and Artie Davies 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.

★★★★☆ — Chai , Dec 2024

Nice very large Park hardly anyone is ever here. Great for walking dogs on leash, they have tennis courts and soccer nets lots of room to run around. Park closes one hour after sunset year round.

My kids love the sand, the giant rocks, and the playground. The huge field is nice to run in too!

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.
