Confirmed from Hazelnut 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.
Multi-use park featuring sports courts and playgrounds, plus a dog park.
What runners say about Hazelnut Park
This is a nice small park. There's a nice trail, probably 1/4-1/3 mile that loops around to the public trail on the rear side of the park, and then back into the park a little way later. In the park there's your usual playground, basketball, tennis, baseball, soccer amenities, and a small shades pavilion.
It's a cute park. A soccer field, playground, walking path, tennis court, and parking which is shared with a church. It was sad to see that there were more soccer cars than there were church going cars. (Maybe online, like me. Lol!)
Used the walking path for dog training. Noticed they let dogs on the ice rink starting in May,. We will return
Very beautiful Park nothing wrong with the park, but some people that use it think that because there are cones, signs, and flagging tape crossing the path, staying out doesn't apply to them even while machines are running they run right by.
