Confirmed from Circle 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.
This small, grassy neighborhood park with benches is used for dog walking, relaxing & working out.
What runners say about Circle Park
“Very clean and in a residential community.”
“I wish they'd run the fountain since so much time and money went into it and it's SO beautiful.”
“Peaceful, but should be for residents in the immediate area only and not for random weirdos.”
Circle Park is a hidden jewel nestled in a thriving community. It has lovely vistas and beautiful homes surrounding it. Circle Park has traffic pylons and clearly defined circle exits. It is a gathering place for families and walkers.
We love circle park and have been walking here for decades! I wish they'd run the fountain since so much time and money went into it and it's SO beautiful. Other than that, this is a wonderful place to walk with family and friends or even alone because there is always someone walking there!
small nice park just dont go at night shady characters around. i wish the fountain was working too. nice people. nice place to take your dog or go for a jog or do yoga. fun to go on fourth of july especially.
My neighborhood park. If you are looking for a quick workout or just want to grab some fresh air then this will be the perfect location to do so. The downfall to this location, the cars that passes through can drive a little fast and get really close to the inner circle of where folks walk.
