Confirmed from Heath Community 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 park is well maintained.”

This park is awesome! It has two sand volleyball courts. Two Baseball diamonds as well as a nice trail to walk. This park is also great for taking pictures and small family get togethers. Plenty of parking in the overflow lot. There are a lot of different tree species planted throughout the park and each one is marked.

★★★★★ — Matthew , Dec 2017

Great for taking your kids out or having a birthday party 4 different parks and a nice place to take a hike and walk in the little bit of woods they got

★★★★★ — Bryan , Apr 2021

Let the kids burn off some energy here. This park is well maintained. It's at the very end of a dead-end road, so car traffic is limited to the parking area. The paved, short loop around the playgrounds is great for walking laps or for learning to ride bikes.

★★★★★ — Foster , May 2018

Great sled hill for the smaller kids. A big hill that isn't too slow or too rough or too fast.

★★★★★ — Chris , Mar 2018

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

⛰️ Hills / elevation 3 mentions

“And then in the winter time they have a huge hill that lots of kids love to go sledding.”
