Confirmed from Duffy 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

“The park is always clean, plenty of space to run around, lots of stuff to climb on, and the water fountain works.”

It was quiet and very clean. Although you can walk your dog, it has signs that dogs are not allowed in the park, so lowering stars.

★★★★☆ — Omen-House , Aug 2023

Always a great area to walk and the people walking around the park are always friendly. If you drive there you will find plenty of parking. You will find children playing at the park, baseball games and football games. It is kept clean, well lit and inviting.

★★★★★ — Kathy , Sep 2019

The park is always clean, plenty of space to run around, lots of stuff to climb on, and the water fountain works. Not usually crowded, either.

★★★★★ — Jay , Jul 2018

Excellent park however individuals walk dogs and do not clean up after them.

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.
