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.

Dog-friendly

Children's and dog-friendly park with a playground, swings, slides and picnic tables.

“Very clean and nice place to walk on the track and great place to take family fishing and great for family reunions”

🐕 dog-walking favorite 4 mentions

“My dog loves walking over there b hit I wish you were allowed over there in the evening.”

Found a syringe and a dirty razor on the picnic table by the building. Be careful. It's a lovely park, especially to walk your dog, there's a gated dog park in the back by the cemetary.

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.
