Confirmed from Cloverdale 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.

★★★★★ — Char , Apr 2022

Beautiful little park! Great for running or walking. Two suggestions: bug spray and wear athletic shoes that you don't mind washing/cleaning. This area is very shaded which is great for AL heat, but also attracts mosquitos and mud, especially after a good rain.

★★★★☆ — J , Aug 2022

Small-ish park with a walking track and shady old oak trees surrounded by cute older houses. If you Pokémon there is one dynamax thing, one gym, and four or five gyms. There’s also an adorable puppy borrowing stick library 🐶🐾💙

★★★★★ — Heather , Nov 2025

Beautiful park with a nice dirt/ small gravel loop (about 0.45 miles per loop). Plenty of people walk their dogs here, and while there is no playground here, just up the hill is the church playground, which is great for kids!

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.
