Confirmed from Iron Horse 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.
Clean park with a picnic area, a play structure and ball fields for soccer.

“It has access to a paved path - technically it's a bike path but loads of people walk their dogs or just take a scenic walk through the woods.”
“Great place for a run and then stop at the playground.”
“It has access to a shaded bike path, a playground, soccer fields, baseball field, and restrooms.”
What a great park! It's so underrated. It has access to a shaded bike path, a playground, soccer fields, baseball field, and restrooms.
Love walking here. Quiet and so green this Spring. And the path is paved which makes it nice. Bicycles use this path as well.
This park packs in a lot for its size. There's a baseball diamond and newer playground with a great variety of equipment that even my older kids liked. It has access to a paved path - technically it's a bike path but loads of people walk their dogs or just take a scenic walk through the woods.
Great park. Restrooms, soccer fields and 2 baseball fields. Also has a walking path that goes around the outer part of the park. Nice a d clean and can be busy in the evenings. Definitely worth checking out. The kids playground is also a hit.
