Confirmed from Marie Kerr 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.

Marie Kerr Park in Palmdale is one of my favorite spots to visit, especially in the summertime! The park is spacious, well-kept, and a perfect place for family gatherings or a peaceful day outdoors. One of the best features is their summer movie nights — it’s such a fun, community-oriented tradition.

Running trails, softball area, soccer & football area, basketball area, skate area, pool, fountains, restroom facilities, soda and sports drinks machines for a $1 that take CC. Lots to do if you are active. I run here from Ana Verde area for some mileage 🏃‍♂️💪

★★★★★ — Clo , Jul 2019

Marie Kerr Park has become one of our favorite places to spend the weekend as a family. We go there often, and it’s always a great spot to relax, let the kids play, and enjoy some quality time together. The park is clean, well maintained, and has plenty of open space for kids to run around safely.

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.
