Confirmed from Friendly 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.

Clean safe area,great for kids of all ages. Also has walking track and skateboard park
Safe place to let your kids play while you walk the track. Or if you don't have any kids, you feel safe walking the track by yourself. They have bathrooms, and a playground, a gazebo, and plenty of space for the movies they show during the summer and all other sorts of events.
Nice park that's well maintained by the city. It's easy to walk around and has plenty of shaded areas with tables for resting, water breaks, or picnics. Kid's playground, walking track, tennis courts, baseball fields, soccer/ultimate frisbee fields, and a skatepark. Plenty of areas for parking.
