Confirmed from Edna Mae Washington 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.

“It's clean has a nice walking track and playground”

Great location for the community. Amenities include ample parking, basketball courts, a water fountain for kids to play in, baseball diamond, an open field big enough for football, barbecue pits with covered benches, gazebos, cement bicycle/walking path and a couple of playground areas.

★★★★☆ — Elysium , Sep 2017

Nice covered playgrounds. Area for little kids and older kids close to each other. Lots of benches and covered bench areas. There's a splash pad and basketball court too.There's a trail that goes around the whole park. Swings could be fixed as many of the chains are tangled up and leaves the seat uneven.

★★★★☆ — Anna , Feb 2025

Excellent park to take the family and enjoy cool water fountains on a hot day! Just an all around neat place to go to walk, play basketball and enjoy getting soaked in the water park. We especially loved the water park there. You can also take dominos and board games in sit in the designated "gaming" table area.

★★★★★ — La , Jan 2020

Beautiful park with so much for the family to do. Tennis courts, walking trails, covered basketball courts, water sprinklers for the kids, picnic benches, BBQ grills, baseball fields, bleachers, horse field, ample parking. Grass is well maintained and it's always clean. Plenty of benches to sit on along your walks.

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.
