Confirmed from Don Fries 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.

★★★★★ — Fox , Aug 2022

Great set of soccer fields, nice benches to view from above, and surrounded by a great trail system. Plenty of open space for activities. Shaded area with picnic tables near the fields. Large parking area to access the fields and trails. Restrooms near the parking lot.

★★★★★ — Kenneth , Jun 2023

Nice hill for a great workout. Trails that are great for running/walking or biking. Nice big field for playing games.

★★★★★ — Roland , Aug 2020

Beautiful park but confusing signs makes it very hard to tell people where to meet you. Love the nature trails in the fall! Stroller friendly if you have a sturdy one.

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.
