Confirmed from Cannon 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.

What runners say about Cannon Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (80 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

“It’s also clean/well maintained and there is a great, quiet neighborhood surrounding the area to run.”

We love coming here! Especially for the playground. There are always other kids around to play with and a variety of obstacles for all aged kids.It’s also clean/well maintained and there is a great, quiet neighborhood surrounding the area to run.

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.

🚻 Restrooms 3 mentions

“Very nice park with baseball field, soccer field, picnic shelter, restrooms, and parking.”
