Confirmed from Colman 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.
Small park featuring a paved walking path.

Beautiful little park with a nice walking trail to take the dog. Our new walking spot.
Quiet, clean and well maintained. Paved trail, pavilion, soccer field, baseball diamond, play structure for ages 5-12. Minimal graffiti at pavilion. Information board needs to be repaired but otherwise nice place to take your kids and dogs.
There was very little traffic around and my dog was able to run wild off leash. There’s a maintained baseball diamond and plenty of paved and dirt trails to go exploring on. Highly recommmend taking your four legged friend there!
Colman Park is the perfect place for a beautiful walk - take a nice & peaceful walk around the park with your pup, or get your morning/evening steps in while enjoying the serene atmosphere.
