Confirmed from Christmas Run 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.

“The play area has the best equipment and kids of all ages can spend hours playing.”

My twins had so much fun here! They loved all the space to run around, the slides and the bells. Love all the family restrooms and plenty of space to bring a lunch. We will definitely be back many times!

Wow! Christmas Run recently added a new playground that is really cool! It's is built to look like a nature scape with giant log slides, climbing rocks, ropes ladders, and little animal sculptures hiding among the activities. It's really neat looking, and very fun to play on.

I went to Christmas Run park with my 5 year old son. First visit since the remodel. I will say it's a very clean park with police making their presence known. Good thing for that. Makes us feel safer. My son had lots of fun and we had a good time. 5 stars for the fun playground.

A great park with a little something for everyone. The playground area has your normal playground accessories plus musical instruments, hidden objects, different slides, a tree house, and more. Then across the parking lot are basketball courts. There are hiking trails and a trail that leads to the pool.

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.
