Confirmed from Goodale 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.
Park with a playground, basketball court and dog park, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Goodale Park
“It gets sooo hot that it’s tough to be there too long but the park is nice and is well kept up.”
“There is a bit of shade over the play area but with this heat we didn't stay out long.”
Has running water and some agility equipment. It's got a large and small dog side. Not super huge but big enough it's got some benches and shade. Even fire hydrants for those dogs that need to lift a leg on something. Seems very pleasant!
Awesome Dog Park!!!! Thank you! I love the fire-hydrant sprinkler. My husky has been going to dog parks since she was 6 months; she is now 11 years. It is the first sprinkler I have seen. A bit more shade would be helpful - all benches get the morning sun.
I like this park. My kids enjoy playing there. I just wish it was shaded better for the sunnier days. It gets sooo hot that it’s tough to be there too long but the park is nice and is well kept up.
