Confirmed from Freedom 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.

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“My kids really enjoy this park and the main play area is shaded which is great.”

This park is pretty good! The trail has lights, the ball fields always look pristine, but the playground is our favorite part. The fact it's covered could put it ahead of any other park in the area. The only things that would elevate this park, in our opinion, is if the swings were covered...

★★★★☆ — Kai , Oct 2023

Very open big park located in nice area. Large playground for many ages with baseball park and walking/running trail that goes around entire park. Large field for many activities. Overall a good place to go.

★★★★★ — Cynthia , Jul 2016

Beautiful well maintained park. Plenty of walking trails, ball fields, and open space to relax. There is even a kids play area. Its a wonderful place in a nice neighborhood.

★★★★★ — Bob , Dec 2018

Great park. Large covered playground with handicap access. Has several slides and swings for the kids. There is a large ballpark as well as small family pavilions located around the walking/jogging track. Has bathrooms and a water fountain.

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.
