Confirmed from Earl Edgar Recreational 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.

“Great place for all ages.”

Nice park if you have kids that play baseball or soccer. It has quite a few fields. There is also a dirt track for those who like to jog, run, or walk. Additionally, there is a small playground for small ones. The park is well maintained & has small but clean restrooms.

★★★★★ — Julie , Nov 2018

A good place to walk or jog, take little kids, and play sports. Has four ball parks. Two of which are open to the public. The other two are reserved for practice and games. There is a concessions building that is open during games. It does have a drinking fountain but water is understandably warm in the summer months.

★★★★★ — Shay , May 2018

Great place to come work out. You can come walk, run exercise you can play sports including basketball, baseball, soccer, and football.

★★★★★ — Benita , Sep 2016

Nice little park! They have nice walk around and also baseball spots to play. The kids area is well shaded. Just be careful because the sprinklers make it muddy.

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.
