Confirmed from Falcon 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.

Great park, amazing views. New playground, pavilion you can rent, bathrooms, huge field, "Forest" area, .6 paved trail around the field, beautiful mountain view. Super fun for kids and adults--love to watch the RC air planes fly. New(ish) playground is fun! New as of like 2021.

★★★★★ — Jennie , Sep 2025

Falcon Park is such a great park. It provides the area with spaces for soccer, lacrosse, baseball, running, walking, biking, playing, and gathering. The facilities are in good condition. The playground, although a little unique, is very new having been redone during the 2020 pandemic.

★★★★★ — Jdub , Aug 2023

Super cute park for hanging out, walking your dog, or running. There's a nice cemented mile loop around the park and plenty of open space in the middle. There are also a couple baseball fields and tennis courts.

★★★★★ — Christie , Aug 2021

Falcon park got an awesome new safari themed playground. (May 2020) My kids loved it, lots of unique toys. There's a good paved running path and large flat head fields.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 7 mentions

“This park has a nice, simple, open design which makes it easy to spot other dogs that may be present.”
