Confirmed from Independence Hill Park Bike & Hike - Trailhead'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.

Park with a public restroom for joggers and others who want to get away from the city.

Great place for family but seen on several occasions a shady person or 2 by the walk way across the street from the pond

★★★★☆ — Mike , Oct 2018

I come to jog here every day. It’s nice to get your mind off the cityscape.
