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.
What runners say about Freedom Park
“It’s clean and everything is in working order.”
Beautiful park, very large with basketball and two separate play areas for kids. I personally love the walking path and all the open area with the trees. Some cool looking trees too. Highly recommend this park. Very clean
It's a good park for all ages. They have 3 separate areas for different ages, trails, a picnic area, tons of room to fun and play. And they also have a splash pad right next door. We love going there !
Great park with a big huge field that has a jogging track around it. Love it
