Confirmed from Legion 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 Legion Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (184 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“Nice park with nice softball fields and nice play ground equipment, and has a nice smaller skate park, usually fairly clean and friendly environment for everyone”

🏃 great for running 2 mentions

“Great lil park with good area to run and explore.”

Great lil park with good area to run and explore. Plenty equipment for the kids to play on. Well manicured. Small skate park area. Softball fields. Basketball hoop. Area to set up for foot ball or soccer.

★★★★★ — Aliana , Apr 2016

There are a lot of things for the kids to do on the playground equipment which is kept in excellent condition. The covered picnic pavillion is great for parties or to get out of the sun. The gazebos with the bench swings are great for the adults to sit and watch over their kids.

★★★★★ — Stormy , Jun 2017

Nice place to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise. Not the longest trail, but it's paved and never crowded.

★★★★★ — Jeremiah , Jul 2020

Absolutely love taking the grandkids to this park. So much for them to play on, with plenty of room to run and romp. Gazebos and a covered shelter offer places to sit and talk. A nice walking trail, can even bring the pooch, just remember the leash and clean up bags! Great for birthday parties or cookouts.

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.
