Confirmed from Edison Trails 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.
This basic 11-acre park features a playground & picnic tables, plus grassy areas & restrooms.
What runners say about Edison Trails Park
“It’s very clean and there are water fountains throughout.”
“It’s peaceful next to a hiking trail and friendly.”
“Dog friendly and allows for you to cut out into the residential areas if the hike is not for you.”
Great little hike! My dog loves it and it gets her tired! It’s very clean and there are water fountains throughout.
This is a small park. It has a very long hiking trail. The park itself is very nice and clean. Not really meant for large gatherings. With this heat you have ppl showing up to relax during the late evenings.
Love to hike the trail, it's short but you can make it a good workout. It leads to La Loma Park where you can exercise on the stairs
My kids wanted to go hiking on Thanksgiving, so I came across this place. It was a perfect distance & on the end of the trail, there is a park where they got to play. My kids loved it & it felt safe.
