Confirmed from Frank 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.

“Nice clean shelter for events.”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“Shade toddler play structure and big kids next to each other.”

Super pretty and well sheltered. Made me feel like a kid again. Plenty of room to have a party or large gathering. Or to have the kids and dogs run around.

They just put up a new playground the kids really love and if you need to do some walking but need to bring your kids with you this is a great place to bring them so you can walk on the path around the playground so you can keep and eye on your kids while there having fun you can work out

★★★★★ — Queen , Jun 2016

Frank Park has a great walking path that I enjoy daily. There are two shelters with tables and a great play area for kids to enjoy. Also a horseshoe park.

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.
