Confirmed from Ed DeBenedetti 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.

🐕 dog-walking favorite 4 mentions

“Fun place to walk the dogs also.”

Nice little park. First time there to walk the new puppy. The field area is always full of soccer games and today was no exception! Was a nice little walk around the top of the field area. Will go again for the dog walk. Not a soccer fan.

★★★★★ — Jim , Dec 2018

Our favorite. Yes, theres weeds but it gives it a nice nature feel. When it's all lively and green it's so beautiful that we nicknamed the park "fairy grove glen." 🤣 its really magical walking the path leading from the neighborhood into the park as the sun is going down, especially when the weeds are still green.

★★★★★ — Candice , Jul 2020

Nice open space to enjoy with family and friends. Perfect for little ones to run around and exhaust themselves or to have a picnic. Has a path for people to walk/run. Only downside I consider is that it has no benches other than that definitely give it 5 stars.

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.
