Confirmed from Coomer 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.

This is the park where we visit most of the times. Got slides and swings for toddlers, boys and girls. A big ground and most of the times baseball is played but I have seen soccer too. There is a rocky area on one of the sides which is good for photography. This trail has both gravel and asphalt.

★★★★★ — Rain , Oct 2023

Lovely neighborhood park with walking trail through a small wood, great playground equipment, two open fields of grass and a great doggy water fountain.

Nice little neighborhood park. Lots of shade and seating. Nicely maintained jungle gym and walking path. Kiddos love it!

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.
