Confirmed from Deicke 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.

“Fun place to spend the whole day for kids and adults of all ages”

Beautiful park with lots of trees for shade. The children's play area looks really fun!

★★★★★ — Faith , Jul 2023

This is a very clean park with a lot of playground space. There is a huge slide that is super fun for kids. There are lots of tables for picnic activities. We enjoyed playing and walking. It has many trails to walk around. Perfect to bring your kids to have fun. The only downside was the wind...

★★★★☆ — Richard , Jun 2023

Our absolute favorite place around! The toddler zone is amazing, enclosed interactive playground with an abundance of activities. Other areas of the park offer plenty of green spaces, a pond, walking paths, few other play areas with play structures and sport fields, few shelters and picnic spots, even an outdoor gym.

★★★★★ — Magdalena , Jul 2018

Lots of parking for events and sports. Great trail system for active families. The trail is mostly unpaved with a couple steep hills not apt for toddlers with training wheels.

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.
