Confirmed from Mountain Valley 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.

👟 good for all levels 2 mentions

“Great park, the new play equipment is super fun, great for all ages.”

I love this place. I take a shortcut through this park on my way to meetings and it cuts 16 minutes off of my walk. Plus I get to see the ducks in the park.

★★★★★ — Mike , Aug 2022

Great park in Prescott Valley to take my kids to when wanting spend some time with them. They have a great track that runs throughout the park that you can walk or run.

★★★★★ — Devon , Jan 2020

Park is big, plenty of room to run and play. A couple of different playground areas. Plenty of shade and picnic areas. There's the huge splash pad and community pool as well, which we love ! There just not open very often which is a bummer.

★★★★★ — Sam&Nisha'S , Mar 2025

This is a nice park to walk your dogs! The softball fields are well kept and the lower soccer field and surrounding area have nice grass areas. The duck ponds at the bottom are fun to look at.

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.

“We’re usually here for soccer practices and games, but there’s so much more to enjoy, from the sports fields and dog park to the playground and skate park.”
