Confirmed from Jonquil 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 Jonquil Park
“I'm able to get my workout completed in an area that is always clean, safe, and invigorating.”
The main soccer field is in great shape, and there's a nice covered seating area with picnic tables. There are also a few smaller fields that are in good condition as well. There's a loop around the fields that is very nice to walk or run.
It’s a nice park, especially if you have soccer players in your group. The soccer field is really nice. There’s also a short loop for walking/running. Maybe a quarter to half a mile? It would be nice if they put up more signage re: the loop.
Well-maintained soccer fields in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood. Ideal for children’s games and walking. A clean and welcoming park.
