Confirmed from Harper 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.
What runners say about Harper Park
“Thanks again for your service to keep this place safe and clean”
“Its a peaceful relatively quiet park.”
“An easy to find, large family friendly park located right on a busy well travelled road”
My family loves this park. It is not big, but it is not crowdy. It's quiet and cozy. There's a playground area for young kids with sands, which has swings, slides and a few other stuffs. Right next to the playground, there are benches to sit, and watch kids.
Its a peaceful relatively quiet park. It is the beginning of a 6 mile out and back green belt trail that goes to Warner Ave. Very enjoyable especially on the evening
