Confirmed from Ed Grenfell 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.
Relaxed spot featuring fenced-in areas for dogs, plus picnic tables.

Good fenced dog park. There is some mud but it's firm mud and not soppy like other mud dog parks. After you run if you walk a little farther, near a bend in the steam, there are shallows for a dog drink and foot wash.
Shady and cool, a great place to take your family for some fun playing in the creek. The areas are shallow and perfect for walking in the water, with a few deeper spots to take a dip. There are horseshoe pits and a covered picnic area as well. Lots of woody places to explore too!
My dogs' go to park for fun! You can choose between two fenced-in areas for your dogs to play in; a large area for for more social dogs to play together, or a slightly smaller area for just your dog and their inner circle of humans.
