Confirmed from Horizon 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.

Pet-friendly green space featuring a baseball field, basketball court and playgrounds.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (233 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“Very well maintained park with a baseball field and large playground and huge grass field.”

Great playground, baseball field and large grass area surrounded by a track to walk or run near elementary school

★★★★★ — Obay , Jul 2023

Central, spacious, walking trail around the field, 2 playgrounds and basketball court, restrooms... Really nice park for all ages. Only negatives is that there is only one gazebo and not much shade.

★★★★☆ — Lilyne , Feb 2018

Great park and has a nice baseball field and dirt track around the field for running! There's lots of space and often a few others around in the area.

★★★★★ — Matthew , Jun 2022

It had two different play ground one for toddler and the other one for big kids. I liked it there was a trail for a walk along well maintained grass .

★★★★☆ — Kayo , Jun 2018

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.

“Bathrooms, ice cream man usually close by, bike/running/walking path, shady trees,pavilion, play grounds, green field.”
