Confirmed from John C. Fremont City 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.

What runners say about John C. Fremont City Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (279 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“Fremont keeps the park very clean and maintained, and I expecially love the post 9-11 fallen solider memorial.”

Trees, grass, children's play area, walking paths, picnic areas, tables, summer events. A REAL small town park. You'll enjoy it

★★★★★ — Jim , Aug 2018

Love coming here to walk the trail, play with the kiddos I babysit as well as my own, and eat. Its just down the street from my house, and it is right by the library and a gas station, so we can stop and get a book to read in the park and we can stop and get snacks and drinks.

★★★★☆ — Amanda , Jul 2017

This park is amazing. There is a lot of room for walking around and for children to take a chance and play on the playground. Very well kept, and they also had a Four brothers papusa truck, which was excellent food by the way!

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.
