Confirmed from Dale Young Nature 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 a really cute park. It's very peaceful, clean and well maintained. I love the animal figures that someone has carved out of the old tree stumps. It's a great place to walk with your dog.
Picnic in the park. Walk along the trail. Wooden carvings of birds. Beautiful little park. Clean, well kept and we had it all to ourselves.
Trail is beautiful and quiet. Bring a pair of dog shoes. Some plants are sharp.
