Confirmed from Kloss 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.

Love this park so much! Very clean and well-kept and perfect for dog/family walks. The grass can get a little patchy in the scorching summer heat but even then still very green and perfect for soccer, volleyball, picnics, etc. I’ve even seen people bring a ping pong table.

A lovely neighborhood park right next to my son’s school. 🌳 We often stop by after class — it’s clean, quiet, and has plenty of space for kids to run and play. The playground area is well maintained with bright colors, and there’s a shaded section that helps a lot on sunny days.

I proposed to my girlfriend at this park. It was where we first met and started walking. Its a great park and nice walk and other walkers are friendly. Its nicely maintained too.

★★★★★ — Jenean , May 2022

We host our kids' birthday parties here every year! Plenty of shade, easy access to clean bathrooms, wonderful open space for running around or a bounce house that's somewhat enclosed by the shape of the park (my husband calls it the "bowl") and there's a great horse shoe pit.

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.
