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

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (78 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“It's clean, well mowed for the kids and bathrooms are accessible from the field.”

I love how spacious this place is, with room to do pretty much anything. You can play soccer, pickle ball, use the playground (great for younger kids), and even cook out on the Pavillion. The trails are also great for running and working out.

★★★★☆ — Brendan , Jul 2025

Large park with plenty of room for the kids to run. Frisbee Golf available as well as a skate/bike park.

★★★★☆ — Lou , Sep 2020

Very big. There is a lot of room to play sports, walk or run on the path. A playground for the kids. A little skate park. It's pretty nice.

★★★★☆ — Kim , Aug 2023

Clean, spacious and decently new blacktop loop. Park was clean and good shape.

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.

🚻 Restrooms 3 mentions

“My only negative critique is that there isn't any actualy bathrooms, so you have to use a porta potty.”
