Confirmed from Irving 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.
Park featuring athletic fields, a playground, and other facilities for kids and adults.
What runners say about Irving Park
“The only bad thing is some dog owners DO NOT CLEAN UP AFTER THEIR OWN DOGS.”
I grew up living by this park, and the recent improvements are amazing!!! Brand new basketball courts, an inclosed 5 on 5 soccer field, new playground, an area for dogs, and a track for running/walking, it truly is great to see the city making improvements for its residents, both old and new.
A very clean park. Nice for walking. Has bathroom facility. shade is available in a couple places by trees. You can just sit and relax.

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
