Confirmed from Kiwanis 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.

Enclosed neighborhood park. Has a playground and plenty of space to run. To enter this area you must go down the colorful stairs!

★★★★★ — Lil , Oct 2020

Nice ans quiet Park. Perfect to play with balls and let the kids run. Nice little playground.

★★★★★ — Morgane , Oct 2024

It is very nice there just needs a bathroom. It is a very nice place for children to run and play, no worries of them running out in the street. The sign says it is for children for 2-5, my granddaughter is 7 and still has fun there. It is great if you live right by the park you can just go home to use the bathroom.

★★★★☆ — Kathy , Sep 2023

Sweet and very cute park very hidden. My dog and I went out for a walk and this park was open. Although fires were not that far from here smoke wasn’t that bad.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 9 mentions

“It is not a dog friendly park, nevertheless sometimes when we go if people from the neighborhood are out with dogs it is great all the dogs seem to get along.”
