Confirmed from Green Valley 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.

👟 good for all levels 3 mentions

“The only downsides I found were there were several off leash dogs, and some of the playground equipment isn’t very friendly for all ages.”

Great park! Well-maintained, walking trails, playground, covered pavilion, restrooms, soccer, baseball, duck pond, turtle pond with fish, and plenty of parking. The second pond further back surrounded by trees is hidden unless you get out and walk the trails.

★★★★★ — Valerie , Jun 2022

Nice size park with lots of parking! Ball fields, pavilion w/restrooms, concrete walking, jogging, strolling path, nice small pond w/fountain, small dock, ducks, turtles and even some fish! Located in a nice area, seems safe enough. Enjoyed spending a couple of hours here fishing.

★★★★☆ — Jr , Jun 2019

Oh my goodness this place is amazing! It has beautiful walking trails, a lovely duck pond and a great playground as well as a nice picnic area. There were several tennis courts and soccer fields. I can't wait to go back!

★★★★★ — Erin , Apr 2019

Has a floating fishing dock. 2 ponds. Covered play area. Concrete bike trail around entire park. Nice!

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.
