Confirmed from Deaconess Sports Park EVV'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.

“The fields are very well kept and there is a kids playground right in the middle.”

Nice park, well kept. The fields are turf. They have batting cages and facilities. There are a couple of nice ponds and walking trails on the facility grounds.

★★★★☆ — Tyler , Jun 2024

Visiting in-laws and this place is new and right in the neighborhood. Really nice running path open to the public. The baseball fields are shiny and new - nice layout and I like how they have a little concession area and kids playground right in the middle. Can see how this will be a great addition to the neighborhood

★★★★★ — Bill , Nov 2015

This might be the best turf park ever. Dugouts are huge, plenty of shaded seating, batting cages, and asphalt walking trail. Plenty of parking therefore no long wagon hauls. Restrooms are nice and clean and park food is average and reasonably priced. Waste containers everywhere and park staff very kind and helpful.

★★★★★ — Eric , Nov 2025

Relatively large sports center with baseball and soccer fields, as well as a paved path around the whole complex. Plenty of parking as well as connectivity to the Green River Road trail and the sidewalks of adjacent subdivisions.

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.
