Confirmed from Max Patterson'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.
Vibrant park offering multiple playgrounds plus splash pads (some with jets) and slides. Relaxed spot, also featuring a tennis court and a water area for hot afternoons.

Pretty park, my daughter LOVES the splash pad. It's fairly clean and not usually too busy. Nice place to take your kids to run out some energy.
