We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Dan Daniel Memorial Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Beautiful, family-friendly park with amazing trails, open spaces, and picnic areas.”

Nice playground for the kids to play with obstacles, swings and rock climbing. The restrooms were open for weekday but little dirty and no hand soap. Plenty of parking space and many other amenities from skating area to fields. Did a nice walk around the fields with my baby on stroller.

★★★★★ — Babita , Oct 2024

Amazing park!! Has a small, beginner friendly skatepark, amazing trails with a beautiful river. Has a playground, baseball field, a small baseball stadium of minor league, a soccer/football field, and beautiful scenery. Definitely recommend.

★★★★★ — Littlemittenz , Aug 2021

Great playground by walking trails and baseball fields. Best suited for 10yo and under as far as size of equipment goes. For picnic tables with sun shelter attached to playground.

★★★★★ — Jessica , Jan 2025

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.
