Confirmed from Heritage 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.
Vast park with an 18-hole golf course, athletic fields, a dog off-leash area, and a 40-acre lake.
What runners say about Heritage Park
“The restrooms are basic, but clean.”
“Great view of the planes taking off and landing from a good distance from the 151st executive airport.”
For a small park, Heritage Park packs a big punch. We kayak here and the boat ramp is small, but that’s not usually a problem because it’s not typically crowded. Some of the lake is very shallow, but that makes for great wildlife watching. Turtles and herons are always fun to spot.
Beautiful park with lots to explore. From horse trails and jumps, shelters and fishing on the lake. This place has a lot to offer. Tons of walking trails, outdoor workout machines, playground areas, disc golf course, and lots of fishing spots.
Very calm and nice location for people to spend time, walking with the pets, enjoy nature. I go check on different species of birds that come there.
Nice flat trails without any gradients. Very scenic. If you are looking for shaded trails, then this might not be your place.
