Confirmed from Henry Burns 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.
Playground featuring slides, swings, seating and climbing apparatus, alongside a clean grassy area.

If you want to get some fresh air, sunshine and have some fun this park is for you and yours! My kids and I were thoroughly entertained for about 2 hrs this morning. We ate breakfast at the picnic table here around 9 and played. By 10 it was quickly filled with the residents of the neighborhood.
