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.
Shaded park featuring a paved, 1/4-mile loop and a playground.
What runners say about Heritage Park
1/4 mile loop marked for bike or walk. Playground has been kept up. Red gravel seems free of loose debris. Porta facilities. Drinking fountain. Only con - 1 table in the whole park.
Some neat & different toys & a nice path to walk around park. Lots of birds to listen to also, we even heard a catbird😊...pretty cool.
Has nice playground, 1/4 mile paved trail, water, Porta potty, and some big trees.
