Confirmed from Forest View 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 Forest View Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (10 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

A small place for the little kids, up to age six. Did not go on the trail. Quiet area

★★★★☆ — Tschnaebele , Nov 2018

Great park to walk through with long trails. Also has a smaller playground for kids

★★★★☆ — Tim , Apr 2017

Great place for a walk, field on one side, park for younger kids on the other side.

★★★★★ — Jenny , Jul 2020
