Confirmed from Oakwood Springs 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.

Went to this park to fly my racing drone. Was a perfect spot. My wife enjoyed it also. There is a decent size walk path around a small lake with pic nic tables and a play ground as well as a covered pavillion with pic nic tables.

An excellent, well maintained park with paved walking trails, a playground, a large gazebo with seating, a volley ball net, and a small basketball court. The pond often has ducks or other birds in or around it. There is plenty of parking along the street on two sides of the park as well.

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.
