Confirmed from Hansen 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 public restroom and a golf course.
What runners say about Hansen Park
“I'm not a golfer, but the golf course seems to be well maintained.”
I run in the area. It's another fine example of our wonderful county park system. I'm not a golfer, but the golf course seems to be well maintained.
We really enjoy the trail there when it's not too hot out! The highlight of that day was to see A Doe and her tiny little fawn.😊
Nice area for a quick walk around the retention pond. Path also extends to County Park on other side of Swan Blvd.
Walked the 2 mile path around the ponds. Beautiful flowers, lots of birds.
