Confirmed from Cedar Lanes 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.

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“Best part is, the simple Walking path that is very shady and kept free of debris to make it easier for lil tyeks on their bikes and babies in strollers.”

The coolest bike park I've been to or seen in a long time! Not a skate/bike park combo like most..the tracks were specifically made & paved for bikes. A beautifully made simple, yet complex paved track in the main area perfect for kids or adults riding any type of bike.

★★★★★ — Lee , Sep 2024

Always a great time at this park. It is well kept and has food challenging trails for younger folks.

★★★★★ — Jim , Jun 2025

Well kept open field of grass good for family flag football, family soccer, great for all family and friends needs to gather. Small play area with slide, climbing, and imaginative small child area, and a couple picnic tables.

★★★★★ — Amazing , Mar 2024

Nice little park and trail in the middle of a neighborhood. Cool modern little kids playground with age appropriate climbing walls, trashcan and recycling this park is small but charming. Great place to stop and eat my burger from Frugal diner.

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.

🛣️ Paved surface 5 mentions

“Pump track is a fun little track to roll around on, but its "rough" asphalt, not super smooth cement like a skatepark (its meant for BMX, but i ride a skateboard on it just fine).”
