Confirmed from Heritage Park Trail'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.
Waterside recreation spot featuring walking and biking trails, plus ducks and turtles to watch.

Beautiful park, lots of room to walk on paths. It is wheelchair accessible. There are fountains, ducks, turtles, catch and release fishing.
Beautiful park with several well maintained routes with new sidewalks to follow, bridges to cross, fountains to watch. This park is off the beaten path so not as frequented and is a very pleasant space to enjoy a break from the fast paced life this city offers.
Such a pretty park with plenty of route options and elevation changes. I like that there are rarely bike riders to watch out for, but lots of families, joggers, people fishing or walking dogs and just enjoying the day. The ducks are an added bonus!
Five star because, this is the best design I have ever seen for a drainage ditch I have ever seen. Just like a park. The kid's love coming here. Fun for a morning or an afternoon jog.
