Confirmed from Mike E Sansone Community 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.

Many things to do. Skate, playground, trails, zipline, baseball, soccer, pickleball, tennis, basketball etc. I wish the City would set up kiosks. It'd be a great opportunity for small business owners.
