Confirmed from Freedom Basin 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.
Park offering spaces for football and picnics, plus fireworks displays.
What runners say about Freedom Basin Park
“The area was well maintained which helped out with all the sporting activities going on.”
Open space to play soccer, football, walk the dog and more. Not much shade. Not many picnic tables. Bring your own chairs to sit on. Some times thete is a portable bathroom.
I love coming to this park for my kids to come and play, while I walk the trails. It's always clean and the restrooms are clean too.
I love walking and playing with my dogs here. Because it's a soccer field the grass is firm and is dry even after rainy weather.
