Confirmed from Heroes 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.

Low-key park with slides and a playground for kids, plus a walking trail for adults.

What runners say about Heroes Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (45 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“Plenty of shade and really clean.”

This is one of my family's favorite locations. Its small size ensures that there is rarely more than a handful of other people there at any time. And the paved walking track provides a good place for small children to ride their various toys while the adults get in some light exercise.

★★★★★ — Jeremy , Mar 2020

The walking path is uneven due to tree roots, but the playground equipment was fun for us. We really enjoyed all the pine trees and the little one was excited to play on the slide. (It's a toddler sized one)

★★★★★ — Beth , Jan 2020

Great little park for small children. It also has a small walking area around it. We love this park!

★★★★★ — Gina , Mar 2019

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.

“the bathrooms leave alot to be desired, but considering that they are port a petty's they were great.”
