Confirmed from Crescent Hills 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.

“its always clean and it's getting updated alittle which is always nice.”

Great for small children, dog walking, playing catch or ball, there is a small grassy ball field, tennis courts, good for dek hockey, parking for about 20 cars. Water fountain, basketball court. Easy to walk to.

★★★★☆ — Doug , Dec 2017

Nice neighborhood park. Well kept. Very clean. Has a walking track. 7 laps equal a mile. I would say the play equipment it's more meant for the little ones. Such as 5 and under.

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.
