Confirmed from Joe B Freeman 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.

This park was beautifully amazing. The playground is not shaded but everything else is ! We found a fishing trail that leads to a nice little private fishing spot. The water was deep and clear. I could see my feet all the way at the bottom ! And we got to see so much wildlife.

Joe B Freeman Park is a small neighborhood park with playground and an open space for playing, having a picnic, or just relaxing on a bench. The park is clean and well maintained. A great place to take the family, go solo, or enjoy with your fur baby.

★★★★★ — Michelle , Jun 2024

Very nice walking path. Mostly covered by tree shade so that is nice. My kids really got a kick out of the Bigfoot signs that are everything. Great place to visit.

★★★★★ — Trent , Jun 2023

Nice small park that is also a trailhead for a wide concrete hike and bike trail. The park has a non-shaded playground. There is a covered picnic table nearby.

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.
