Confirmed from Connelly 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 Connelly Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (132 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice park. My boy had soccer tournament there. Parking was an issue, but that was understandable. Playground was a hit. Kids live it! Tennis courts are in a good shape, walking path around is a plus.

★★★★★ — Natalia , May 2023

Overall nice park, has a soccer field and playground. Small parking lot that gets overcrowded during soccer games. There are numerous garbage cans placed throughout yet the park sometimes gets easily cluttered.

★★★★☆ — Kym , Aug 2018

Small nice community Park kind of off the beaten path easy to find, good parking. bathrooms and play area is real close to parking. The tennis courts are nicely kept definitely a place to come if you're looking for a nice community Park

★★★★★ — Kim , Aug 2025

Fields are nice but there is very little parking. Just be aware if there is a tournament, you will have to most likely park on a side street. Not a huge walk, but a bit farther than the small parking lot.

★★★★☆ — Dennis , Jun 2026

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.
