Confirmed from Deerfield 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.
Quiet space that includes a trail for nature walks, a playground and picnic benches.
What runners say about Deerfield Park
“This was a beautiful hidden gem on a long road trip.”
“Short and sweet: Short, easy hike in a quiet residential area.”
“Short and sweet: Short, easy hike in a quiet residential area.”
Good small park! It's located in a neighborhood but does have its own small parking lot. The lot has an accessible parking space, but the trail would require off-road capability mobility aids. The trail has gravel and little change in elevation.
Cool trail thru pine and hardwood. Connects to another path that will take you up to the big shanty. Bring mosquito repellent in the summer tho. Nice short walk over even ground crushed rock. A couple of wood bridges span a small creek.
The trail pretty cool. This one is Hella short but it does connect to multiple trails. Yes the ground is uneven but that won't stop a good walk. Bring that bug spray because those mosquitos are out and they won't ya bad
Nice wooded path that takes you over a few bridges and creaks. Most of the trails have small parks with areas for the kiddos to play and are wrapped around subdivisions.

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
