Confirmed from Moon 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.

“It's a great park my kids love going there and there alot of different equip to play on and they keep it clean”

Good park but don't just stop at the first playset. Over the hill and into the valley is a larger playground with equipment for a range or ages including toddler equipment, a splash pad, and a tall spaceship shaped playground set. A set of four toddler swings and 4 regular swings. Ball parks and walking trails..

★★★★★ — John , May 2022

This is a fantastic park with something for everyone! There are many different play structures ranging from large shuttle shapes on turf to slides using the hills to sand and log balancing. Plus a splash pad to keep cool in the heat. There's a pond with a bench, access to trails, and lots of sports fields.

★★★★★ — Danielle , Jul 2023

This park literally has everything! Over 3 miles of wooded hiking trails, to a couple miles of "in park" trails, to playgrounds, splash parks, pickleball courts, tennis courts, baseball fields, basketball court, volleyball court, batting cages and so much more. This park truly became a home away from home.

★★★★★ — Carey , Aug 2024

The park is really kid friendly. There is all kind of swings, slides and stuff. They have a splash pad for kids. There are multiple baseball/softball fields, tennis and pickleball courts, walking trails and a fishing pond. The park has multiple places to have a small picnic and also some pavilions.

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.
