Confirmed from Donaldson 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.

Gorgeous park including 2 different playgrounds, walking / running tracks and incredible nature’s creatures : turtles, ducks, swans, etc. Very peaceful and positive place.

★★★★★ — Tara , Aug 2025

It's beautiful. Wonderful walking trails, parks for the kids to play on, dog park and area, bridge over the lake, music instruments in the playground area and a splashpad for the kids. It's just amazing.

★★★★★ — Crystal , Aug 2018

The fields at Donaldson Park are nice and they have concessions set up at the top of the hill. The score boards work and the bathrooms are clean. Parking is funky but abundant.

★★★★☆ — M.W. , Sep 2019

Nice and quaint park in convenient location. Was able to go for early morning run here as park was open although it’s probably not technically “open” until sunrise.

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.
