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
“Bathrooms were very clean and the park was very nice.”
“Perfect for a walk or run and a great playground for kids.”
“I love too walk my dog here especially the trail below the basketball courts its shaded”
Gorgeous & well maintained park! Safe, clean & wonderful for families of all ages. Soccer fields, beach volleyball, swings, slides, picnic areas & a great walking track. Mature trees for shade & beauty. Lovely!
Excellent paved lengthy trail with shaded rest seating, a children's playground. Great for walks & jogging.......
We loved it, real chill, big open greens, loved how its connected to other trails ❤️
I really enjoy walking at this park. I love that one time around the track is one mile so it makes it easy to keep up with my distance and time. I love the new playground pieces they've added and the covers over the benches along the track. It's just a nice to place to bring the family or go for a jog.
