Confirmed from Charles C. Winburn 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.

“Very clean manicured & well maintained.”

“But other than that, this is a very beautiful little park/trail/field.”

I have walked this park so many times throughout my life. The city recently has started controlling the brush or shrubs, which makes it look nice. But I wouldn't cut the weeds and such unless I planned on putting in grass. But other than that, this pond has frogs, small fish, occasional geese and Canadian geese.

Great little park with a little lake no playground that I've seen great for walking, jogging,or just relaxing. It also has a trail that leads to other parks with a creek along the trail with trees & wildlife.

★★★★★ — Darlene , Oct 2021

Beautiful space. Went for a walk there on Mother’s Day bc it reminded me of when I used to take my kids there when they were young. And the turtles still sunbathe there. No real parking now, I used to park in the business park on the N side but now there are “no parking/ car will be towed” signs throughout.

★★★★☆ — Angela , May 2026

I walk my dogs around this park all the time. Giving 4 stars due to the fact that certain parts of it have an inch or so of water in the grass. Great park overall.

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.
