Confirmed from Field 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.

What runners say about Field Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (25 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Very nice park with something for everyone. Soccer fields, tennis court, basketball court, baseball diamond, playground and walking path. My daughter plays on the playground while my son has soccer practice, and there's a sidewalk surrounding the whole thing so I can get some steps in

★★★★★ — Janelle , Oct 2025

I go running there with my wife and daughter every other evening. Great playground with kids regularly playing soccer and baseball

★★★★★ — Luke , Sep 2016
