Confirmed from Harry S Moss 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.
This single-track trail designated for mountain biking features more than 5 miles of loops.
What runners say about Harry S Moss Park
“The park is generally well maintained, and you can tell the city takes care of it.”
“So beautiful, it's about 25,000 different trails that you can take .”
“I don't want to say scary but it was just erie how quiet it got on the other side of the bush.”
This park is truly a hidden gem. It has a small playground, parking lot, open forest, grassland and more dense forest with trails all throughout. Some folks are a little weary of the more dense forest trails as they can be confusing and isolating but I think that is the allure of this place.
Fun park, with bike paths and natural hiking trails. Big open spaces for frisbee, soccer, or just running. Great biking and walking trails, and pretty well maintained. Can't wait to explore some more when the weather gets better. Interesting Creek to walk beside, and the kids had fun on the playground.
Quiet, peaceful trails and a nice feel of being far from the city without ever leaving.
This park is a really nice spot to get outside and enjoy some fresh air, so I’d give it four stars. The trails are good for walking, jogging, or even biking, and the scenery is pretty peaceful.
