Confirmed from Duck Pond'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.
Relaxing park featuring a playground, picnic tables and exercise equipment.
What runners say about Duck Pond
“Well maintained pond with ducks, an otter, turtles and stocked with fish (no license required).”
“Great running trails, nice environment for kids and families.”
Well maintained pond with ducks, an otter, turtles and stocked with fish (no license required). Great dirt track to run on too.
This place has a little bit of everything. Dog park, playground, running trails, exercise machines, and even fishing. As a plus, my dogs enjoy smelling every groundhog mound; leaving them happily tired for the evening. I'd give this place more stars if I could.
The duck pond is open 24 hours a day and the walking trails are well-maintained. It is a very safe place to exercise.
At Travis AFB. Plenty to do there. There were people fishing, walking, jogging, and just enjoying themselves

“I like how there's a small splash pad near by and the jogging trail/loop.”
“Best of all there's bathrooms for those with little ones.”

- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- At the trailheadrestrooms — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
