Confirmed from Condon 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.
Large, forested off-leash dog run with fencing, water & bench seating for owners.
What runners say about Condon Park
“It's beautiful, peaceful and relaxing for both myself and Xandra.”
“Great park to bring your dog, kid, and/or significant other when you just need a break and some peace & quiet.”
Take your dog to the large dog park or for a walk in the woods. Walk jog or run the couple miles of trails. Play disc golf on a world-class course. There's a renovated state-of-the-art turf softball field, a little league diamond, a basketball court, a gazebo and children's playground, and a ecological restoration…
This has been a great experience for my dog Starlight 🐕. She loves to visit and run around and play with all the other dogs.
Beautiful trails, Huge dog park w lots of accommodating features. Special separately fenced area for small/shy dogs. Lots of benches for humans! Lol. Nice large playground for young kids (under 12 yrs). Lots of parking in all areas.
Great place really quiet when it is raining out. Hardly anyone there just a handful of folks with their dogs. Don’t be afraid to go out in the rain for a walk really calming.
