Confirmed from Joe A. Tambrella 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.

“So many trees that provide an abundance of welcomed shade.”

Great little find! I was hoping to find a park within a 5 minute drive and found this place that’s only 4 minutes away. So many trees that provide an abundance of welcomed shade. My 5 yr old really enjoyed the playhouse & squirrels. Him & I even walked around the paved track that goes around the park.

★★★★★ — Staci , Sep 2023

Good place for walking (3x around the whole track is about a mile) Playing a little basketball There's tables and a good pit to grill. A lot of squirls I use to bring my kids here after school now I'm gonna bring my grandkids

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
