Confirmed from 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 Community Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (49 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

“Fields are always clean, parking lot is in decent shape.”

Very spacious park with a lot of trailers to walk on. Lots of baseball fields where local teams come to practice. Not that many trees though! Big shame because that was the reason why I visited so I could set up a hammock and lay in the sun for a bit. The playground looked pretty good too.

★★★★☆ — Audriana , Jun 2019

It's a beautiful piece of property, right a across from the Fridley City Offices. We enjoy strolling around the small pond loop that's on the south side of the park. It's just the right distance for our dogs and it's plowed in the winter ❄️🐕🐕

This park is always clean! Well kept! It is a big park with handicap accessible parking! Great place to take the kids to play and run around. Or!!! Enjoy a good baseball game. 😍

★★★★★ — Vanessa , Aug 2025

Nice use of land...was a long hike to the back fields, but the grounds look nice and are well taken care of.

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.

“This park is nice, it's smaller so you can't lose your kids on it, parking lot is close so if they throw a fit when it's time to leave, it's easy to just get in the car to go.”
