Confirmed from Independence 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.
Scenic bayside park, popular for Pokemon Go, that hosts festivals and offers bike trails.

Great day trip. Had I known,I would have brought my pole to drop a line! Nice stretch of pier to walk, relax, fish or do all three.
My brother and I looking for a nice quiet place to hang out and pretend we were fishing... Smile. Sat and talked for a long time peaceful people jogging and walking and taking their pets out for walks. Everything nice. Beautiful scenery at Waterfront. Boats ships Birds Kama even a seal...
Great place to run or bike a few laps. It has a nice view and a cool breeze even on hot days. It also has a few pokestops and gyms if you are into pokemon go.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- SurfaceBoardwalk — flat and scenic, and slick when wet, so watch your footing
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
