Confirmed from Fred Poppe Regional 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.
Busy urban area offering a community center, disc-golf course, playground, sports fields & dog park.

Huge park that is well maintained. Has a nice playground for small and bigger kids. It's not covered though so the stuff could get hot in it summer months. A good few swings. There's a bathroom right by the playground too which is handy.
