Confirmed from Oakwood 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.

★★★★★ — Truthful , Oct 2020

Love this park with ample parking. It has tennis and sand volleyball courts. A baseball diamond with bleachers. Also a great playground and bathrooms. Many shelters with benches and tables provided. The best thing is the beautiful pond with a path surrounding it. Lovely to walk/jog around.

★★★★★ — Suzanne , Jun 2019

What a beautiful serene place. There's absolutely everything for everyone in the family! There's tennis courts, a volleyball court, baseball diamond, & a jungle gym for the kids!! There's like a pond but it's more like a little river with a trail circling it. Then there's the greenery...

★★★★★ — Shenellika , Jul 2019

Beautiful park with 2 baseball diamonds, multiple sand volleyball courts, tennis courts, a soccer field, a large play area with a jungle gym for kids, and a big pond with a paved path all around to walk your dog or ride your bike. Also lots of areas to host outdoor parties. Highly recommend for all ages.

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.
