Confirmed from Clayton Community 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.
What runners say about Clayton Community Park
It’s beginning of a hiking trail that starts from Clayton Community Park. When you are walking through the park, you will come to a gate. After passing the gate, you will be onward to climbing a hill toward a peak. Having to view the rolling hills that is so breath taking and inviting, you will want to go further.
Nice park with 2 baseball fields and few courts for Tennis. Ample parking spaces and restrooms with walking trails. However, picnic tables are plenty. Very nice park for picnic hangouts.
Great park. Trails and picnic areas with barbecues. Play area for kids and ball fields.
