Confirmed from Discovery 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.
What runners say about Discovery Park
“Great park but no shade so you can only stay for some time”
Only thing missing is some shade! Huge park with lots of fun equipment. But oof, on a hot day, you can only spend a short while there as there is no shade whatsoever.
A nice place to take a walk, play basketball or take your kids to the park.
Tons of soccer fields, fantastic park for kids to run and climb on and a circle basketball court! The court is a very cool feature. You can't ball full court here but half court games won't get interrupted as easily.
