Confirmed from Dunham 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.
Hiking & biking trails winding through an open space with sports courts & picnic facilities.
What runners say about Dunham Park
“The best part is that they are all well maintained.”
“It was a beautiful day, and we had a great time!”
Super luxe park with lotsof baseball fields. Loads of wildlife up in here. Seen a beaver and some deer. Appears that all these parks are connected by a trail. Can't wait to see the rest!
Winding walking trails next to the water. A lot of bikers, but the trail is really wide, so there no issues with spacing. Beautiful views of the creek.
Baseball and Basketball fields, playground and a bike trail. Don't forget the creek and trees. This park has it all
This is a great park with plenty of room to run and play. The ball fields are well kept. The location is easily accessible from Marion Road, and the Skunk Creek spur of the biking trail, especially now that the trail on the north side of the creek is complete.
