Confirmed from Fay 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.

★★★★★ — Luke , Oct 2025

The kids play ground features monkey bars, sliding pond, and things to climb on, certainly for children under 10 years of age. There is alot of ground to run around. Two baseball fields and tennis courts available. The upkeep of the fields isnt as good as it was 20 or more years ago.

★★★★☆ — Anthony , Jun 2018

It's at a school so timing of your visit is important. Good for kids to run around and equipment. Not sure if you can have big groups during summer or weekends

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.
