Confirmed from Buschman 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.

Nice quiet hidden park. There is a small play area for the kids with a climbing wall and lots of shade. When I went it was well maintained and I didn’t have a chance to walk back to the pond with my daughter in tow.

★★★★☆ — Edward , Nov 2021

Very nice place to have a picnic! Love watching the fish jump out of the water, they are very active here. Great walking trail, too.

★★★★★ — Lydia , Apr 2024

Cute. Quiet park. Has a playset, mini rockclimbing wall, outdoor gym, running/ bike trail, and a beautiful pond.

★★★★★ — Amber , Mar 2021

Park was in good shape and the tall, Long double sided rock climbing wall makes it a unique spot. Shade tree and a bench, not in shade when we were there. A good stop for some play!

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.
