Confirmed from Happy 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.
Kid-friendly park featuring a playground, picnic areas, and basketball courts, plus a bike repair station.

This is a great little park to take your kids too. Clean with a couple basketball hoops and a volleyball space with plenty of room to run and play. There is also a covered awning to stay outta the sun 🌞
Wide open fields around a residential area. Nice on cooler days. Always active people either playing basketball or walking/running the perimeter of the park. Good size and alot of activites for kids.
Very nice park. Lots of trees. Nice play area for kids. Clean and well kept. Great place to walk my dogs.
