Confirmed from Forest Grove 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.

“Track is well-maintained playground area looked clean ample parking”

Shade!!!!! So hard to find at a playground!! The holes under the swings need to be filled in a little. 3 of the 4 swings were hung extremely high as well. We prefer to not have wood chips as our child just turned one and tries to eat them but there was lots of grass and a walking path as well.

★★★★☆ — Happy , Jun 2026

★★★★★ — Kimon , Jul 2025

A small park with a small trail surrounding the park. The park has grills and sitting tables on the side. I really like that I had somewhere to sit and enjoy the view. It has a baseball field.

★★★★☆ — Yazmin , Apr 2018

Very nice relaxing environment. Great place to go and excersise or play with the kids. Use the playground, the ballfield, or walk the paved trail.

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.
