Confirmed from Mae Boyar 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.
Park featuring a community room, lighted ball fields & a playground with a kids' wading pool.
What runners say about Mae Boyar Park
“The toilets were clean and the park wasn't crowded.”
“Mae Boyar Park a great Park to visit had a good time on Sunday December 14, 2025 with family for my mom Birthday very beautiful and peaceful Park for kids, friends and family.”
Clean, quiet park. I came through the trail and end up resting at the park before heading back to the trail. Very relaxing. Great addition to the neighborhood. Clean BBQ area for big family party.
It's a nice and clean park. Though it is small,it has everything. I like how they put sand instead of grass. The kids can play sands like they're on a beach. Then on the other side is where you can walk the dogs.
The park area is clean and seems to be lively. The gate to the fenced playground isn't a functional gate door, but it's nice to know that the little ones can't run off. (Since there's only one access point.) The playground is super fun and the kids loves the zip lines and spinning features.
I enjoy it it small pathway do walking or jogging like beginners exercise.
