Confirmed from Clark 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.
Tree-filled green space featuring a disc golf course, plus a playground and picnic tables.
What runners say about Clark Park
“City and users do a decent job of keeping the park clean.”
Great little park. A small trail winding through the trees. There are lots of picnic tables to enjoy a bite to eat. There is a huge grassy area that is occasionally used for sports, but it's usually empty. You can see squirrels and woodpeckers and birds on a sunny day. Parking on both sides and some street parking.
They have one of the only public baseball fields in town, the field provides a place for my son's and I to practice for the season or to just play for fun. Plus there is equipment for my youngest to play on, and plenty of room for all the boys to run, climb, or for my teen just hang out.
Superbly neat, and highly amazing. 😇 Plus, I know it’s a great place for when you want to go on the swings or walk around while getting your steps for the day. 😇 Basically, I highly recommend this park, and I give two thumbs up, as well as five stars (although ten stars would be even better). ⭐⭐🤩🇺🇲
Clark Park is a nice, often very quiet park in Molalla. In the last couple of years it has been spruced up with nice paths through the trees. The tables All have their own 'sites' ... Nicely spaced to allow for some privacy. Great field as well for dogs, kids, or walking.
