We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Field 1 - Veteran's Memorial Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess.

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.
Clean park featuring a playground, fields, swings and picnic tables.
