Confirmed from Gunner paw 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.

🐕 dog-walking favorite 3 mentions

“My dogs love visiting this park there’s water available for them and a separate playground for little kids.”

Great park to take the dogs to run some energy out. It’s secure and very large. My dogs love visiting this park there’s water available for them and a separate playground for little kids. Watch for poop though as not everyone is responsible and cleans up after their dogs.

The gate is too small. My dog can easily get thru. But other than that it's a nice fenced in area where your dogs can freely run. There's several places to get bags and a place to throw them away. Very convent. Also water for them to drink. There's a nice sidewalk with a couple benches to sit and relax even your dog.

★★★★☆ — Debbie , Nov 2022

Great place for Miss Charlotte to get her running out. The only down side is people bring their aggressive dogs. One guy got hurt a few weeks ago trying to get his dog out of another dogs mouth. We're moving so won't be going back. Will miss our "regulars" that she was able to play with.

★★★★☆ — Jan , Feb 2023

Great dog park but a lot of sandy areas so your furry ones may get a bit dirtier than the average dog park. Lots of shade and friendly folks and never as busy as some of the parks we had in Brandon. Our husky was absolutely blown away by the cows that are in the adjacent field at times.

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.
