Confirmed from Deming 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.
Sprawling, 177-acre park featuring a variety of recreational amenities, from swimming to disc golf.

Wonderful very quiet manicured park , you can tell the city and residents love this park they have a pool here and a train ride in the middle of the park. Lots of shelters to have a picnic at and a Frisbee golf course.
This park is beautiful! It is September and the squirrels are playing and hunting food. You can see the leaves if the trees beginning to change colors to those bright reds and yellows for the fall.
I went to the park to go walking. Beautiful park. Amazing job at keeping it clean and mowed. I enjoyed walking around the park, there are benches all over the park to stop, sit and watch birds and squirrels. There are a lot of shade trees and plenty of places to have a picnic.
