Confirmed from Larry Mills 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.

👟 good for all levels 2 mentions

“There’s something for everyone with soccer fields, playgrounds for all ages, clean restrooms, and picnic areas.”

Great little park for families with small children. One of the best playgrounds around. Facilities include pavilions, sand volleyball court, bocce court, and soccer fields. Popular for dog walkers too. If you climb the grassy hill at the back there's a small network of wooded trails that make for a fine walk.

★★★★★ — Jason , Aug 2016

Great place to have an outdoor event! Lots of parking & room to run/walk.

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.
