Confirmed from City 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.
Tranquil 30-acre space featuring a pond, a grill and playground equipment.

Clean park with friendly workers ensuring that the park is clean and up to standards Good for a morning run as it's less crowded and you get time to unwind. Also well paved routes to follow in case you're going out for a jog or walking your dog.
Playground is shaded and there is a nice walking trail around the park
It’s a beautiful place for neighbourhood and people from different area visit the place. There are walkways from different directions. So people walk particularly morning and evening time . Children had facilities to play basketball and other games. For kids playing also a place in corner.
Love this park! My family and I walk there at least twice a week. Kids love the playground, there is ample picnic areas, it even has a couple grills to cook on. One of the many reasons I love where we live!
