We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Huntington Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

Thanks, Huntington Park & and Beach, for your beautiful "Sunrise" and "Sun-set salty life nostalgia... Love your beach and park, even on a Breezy Springday. Which is great for boat launching,fishing, or enjoying a Lil "volleyball and walks on the beach.
Huntington Park has beautiful views of the James, and large playground with plenty of space to run, picnic or just enjoy the surrounding nature. The boat ramp is well lit, spacious and clean. Unfortunately the beach area is pretty trashy and unkempt. We avoid it at all costs 😔
Well maintained. Plenty of variety and room for many. Bring duck food cuz there is a nice sized flock of ducks off the pier. Walking trails & close to several other attractions.
I loved the garden and all the variety of flowers we had a great day walking around the garden!
