Confirmed from Crawford 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.

“Bathrooms were clean and ready for guests to use and they have equipment available as well.”

My kids loved this park. They didn't want to leave. I like how u have to walk to the playground from the parking lot It's a distance. It keeps the kids safer. It has a restroom & picnic tables that's under a roof. That's near the playground. You can watch your kids in comfort.

Great Park with clean bathrooms. We were there for a school event and the park was fantastic! We’ll maintained playground and grounds. If you’re planning on carrying in coolers or bringing in food it’s a fairly long walk and you can’t drive up to drop it off as there’s no road to pull up to the shelter.

★★★★☆ — Kristal , May 2023

Shelter in the park with electricity, lighting, numerous picnic benches and restrooms. They do allow you to decorate. It's about a 100 yard walk from the parking lot to the shelter. There is a very nice play ground immediately adjacent to the shelter for the little ones.

★★★★☆ — James , Jul 2018

Amazing. Very well kept diamonds. Large paved parking lot. Concessions. Play ground area. Was little league day & blazing hot so I didn't stay too long after dropping off a friend's child. Didn't use any of the facilities to comment on cleanliness.

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.
