Confirmed from Dr. O. Roi Hardy 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.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“It is clean, and has a good playground with great access to the nearby Jordan River Trail for a bit of exercise and fun!”

🌳 shaded & cool 6 mentions

“No real shade at this one, but the equipment has some internal shade.”

10/10! I took kids ages 2-7 here and they all had fun. Big enough to be fun for the bigger kids, but safe and easy enough to be fun for the little ones too. Really well kept park and playground. There is a lot of green space, beautiful views, two nice pavilions connected by restrooms (flushing toilets!

Much better benches than the Draper side of the river. Chill park to take you or your kids to after walking the trail. Is it newer too? I don’t remember there being a park here growing up.

★★★★★ — Brynne , Apr 2023

Nice park for a grilling party or to visit with younger kids. Two sided pavilion has grills for charcoal and lots of seating (plus decent bathrooms). Big grass field for games or for kids to run. The playground is fenced which is a bonus and the playground equipment is great for kids 10 and younger.

★★★★☆ — Trevor , Jun 2019

Great Little Park. Amenities were nice. The parking lot was a little small. But it works. Some interesting trails you can walk right here for a short walk. Park was generally kept in a nice way. Grass was green cut. Pavilions were clean as you can get in a park.

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.
