Confirmed from Joe Burger 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.

👟 good for all levels 4 mentions

“The slide has to be the tallest slide I have ever seen not at a water park, but kids of all ages can navigate the climb.”

Great park with equipment for all ages and abilities. My daughter loved it! The zip lines are so much fun. Lots of climbing options. The slides are a little on the slow side especially the tall ones. The restrooms were clean when I was there. Basketball pad and tennis courts were available as well.

What a unique park! Son LOVED it. Lots of climbing fun! Not the best shade OR clean restrooms, but overall very few complaints. Excellent park for entire family.

★★★★★ — Mr. , Mar 2024

My kids have a blast at this park, they call it the "spaceship" park because of the 2 big slides! They have an area for every age level to enjoy! It also has picnic tables, restrooms, basketball, tennis, pickleball courts and a walking path!

★★★★★ — Justin , Apr 2023

This was an outstanding park to visit with kids of various age groups! There was something for everyone, including lower to the ground activities for the youngest all the way to space-ish style towering ones for the older kids. The family had a blast.

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.
