Confirmed from Fleming Loop Recreational 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.

👟 good for all levels 4 mentions

“This is a great place for families with kids of all ages”

Awesome park with a great walking track. If you walk the entire walking path once, that's 1 mile. We usually walk in a fugure eight. Great playgroud for the kids while you exercise. Great fields for soccer and football.

★★★★★ — J. , Jul 2023

Great place to get your walk-on. Large track, I think it's a mile long. Get exercise and fresh air all at once. Nice park as well. Playground is open.

★★★★★ — Roberto , Mar 2021

Took my 2.5 year old here for the first time on a Saturday morning. There seemed to be plenty of parking despite there being activities happening on multiple fields. Equipment in the playground area was well maintained and there were a lot of interesting structures to explore for kids of a variety of ages.

★★★★★ — Mary , Jan 2023

Good quiet place for everyone. The fields are a little hard, not very well marked either, but it is "winter" time. Great asphalt walking trail. The area for the kids to climb on is real nice.

★★★★☆ — Seal , Jan 2026

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.

“There was also a paved walking path that loops the park where we saw plenty of friendly dogs.”

“There’s like an “obstacle course” that kids can climb through, a triple slide of three different color slides, and a sphere/globe spider-web jungle gym climbing area!”
