Confirmed from Fairfax 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.
Modest park for kids and toddlers, featuring swings, slides and seesaws.
What runners say about Fairfax Park
“Great clean park, but no real parking spots so we parked across the street at the urgent care parking lot.”
“My kids call this the shady park since the trees provide shade during the hottest months.”
Great little park with lots of shade for hot summer days. Ample seating for adults while the kids play. It’s nice to see a park that still features classic play items like a seesaw and tire swing. Only downside is limited parking and closeness to the street.
