Confirmed from Longwood 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.

“Beautiful place for an avid rc pilot to fly without crowds or watch a game.”

Great place for everyone! Adults, kids, families, and leashed dogs. Relatively short, but natural, hiking trails in the back (there is a shortcut option for the longer route), a pond with a fountain, fish (catch and relase only I believe), and waterfowl to sit and watch, picnic tables and pavilions a plenty, clean…

Beautiful neighbourhood park. Small pond you can catch fish and release. Walk around the pond, picnic spot, and hiking trails.

★★★★★ — Rokibul , Feb 2024

Nice park but on the plain side. Lots of open space and grass to have a picnic lunch, run, play frisbee on or just go for a stroll. That's pretty much it though. No playground or paved paths to walk on. Just open space. Very limited shade too, so can be hot and sunny at times.

★★★★☆ — John , Oct 2023

beautiful park with fishing, walking paths, fields and playground. i do wish they had a additional playground for toddlers as the playground that is there is for big kids. i have to go pretty far to find a playground for my kids. as well as a splash pad, but that would just be a nice bonus.

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.
