Confirmed from Homestead Acres Park No 1'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.
What runners say about Homestead Acres Park No 1
Used to come here when I was a kid, I miss the old exercise equipment that was alongside the trail in the 90s. It's still a very nice park. Has picnic tables that are good to eat at.
My 2-year old son and I LOVE everything about this park. It's clean and there's plenty to do. The pond is great. The bridge is cool. The trail is a hidden gem. Awesome all around.
Park has a play area for younger kids as well as older kids! It also has a covered pavilion with tables and direct access to the walking path that goes through the area.
