Confirmed from Kevin Moran 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“Small nondescript park in a quiet neighborhood although the traffic noise from Hwy 85 can be quite distracting.”

This is a well known neighborhood park. I have been going there for 40+ years at nermorous birthday parties for my kids, friend's kids; my grand kids and friend's grand kids; and grown-up gatherings. Nice facilities, clean and quiet and a big grass area for sports too.

★★★★★ — Victor , Apr 2022

Beautiful grass filled park with 2 water fountains (including pet fountain bowls). Great for walking a dog around the paved path or running across the fields. I saw a play structure in the middle back area. There is a lovely flower garden to the front right. Back right connects to the walking path across the freeway.

★★★★★ — Ali , May 2019

This is a really big park with a lot of open lawn space, a walking path around the perimeter, rest rooms, tennis courts, and play area. It's beautifully maintained, and there are several areas with trees that provide shade.

★★★★★ — Mary , Sep 2024

Really nice, peaceful, clean park. Love taking my kids there and also walking the dogs. Love the fact that they have a restroom that’s actually clean. I also like walking the bridge that takes you to the Azul Park.

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.

  • LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
