Confirmed from Ivor Davies Park (north entrance)'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 benches, picnic tables, and a walking trail, as well as a disc golf course.
What runners say about Ivor Davies Park (north entrance)
“But all the same, beautiful.”
“It used to be so quiet and so peaceful, but now even on the nastiest weather days there are at least a couple families here.”
Nice, flat walk. Stroller friendly. Fishing pond with dock. Not a loop. Approximately 1 mile total. Parking at the nirth entrance only. There are BBq grills, Picnic tables, a grassy field and pavilion about 1/4 mile in at the fishing pond.
Gosh I really like this trail! I'm from out of town & have been coming to this area about once a week. I was looking for a place to jog & was recommended this park. After looking at photo reviews I was skeptical about if it was what I was looking for but it absolutely was!
It's a really nice walk local to a lot of people in Molalla, and it quickly makes you feel like you're way out in nature. At times when it's really busy, it can be crowded and not a great expierence for personal down time. But all the same, beautiful.
Nice park with easy to walk paths. Good for anyone wanting a stroll and not a vigorous hike. GPS often takes you to parts of the park where there is no parking so be sure to use the entrance closest to main St.
