Confirmed from Long Ranch 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.
Well-tended park, featuring a playground, trails and a stream, where dogs are welcome.

“My dog loves this place, nice people and dogs”
Long ranch Park was recommended to us by a Mill Street park ranger who saw us playing fetch off leash with our black lab. She was super kind and handed us a list of off-leash parks that we can take our dog to to run around and play ball with.
Beautiful park. It has a small stream running through it. Lovely trees. A picnic shelter for a medium size group. Cement and asphalt walking paths. Water available for pets. Nice areas for youth ball practice etc. Very large area for playing fetch with pets. Only issue, no toilets.
This is a lovely community park. A stream flows through it. There a picnic facilities. Play equipment for children. Lots of grass and trees. And the extended walking biking path that goes through that whole area is also part of the Park experience. Really enjoyable!
It is a nice place, play area for kids, lots of paved walking paths all over, they have horse shows you can play,dogs can be off leash in most areas, nice!
