Confirmed from Orchard Gardens 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.

“Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful scenery are the greenbelt bike trail pretty neat run all the way to mission college go across the creek sliced”

It's a small park but not many people seem to come here, and it's a really nice walk for a little outing. There is also a spot to barbecue and I think that would actually be really nice with how secluded it is. Also the swings are great.

★★★★☆ — Marley , May 2023

Nice park with public tennis courts, basketball court etc. There is a separate children's play area. There is a washroom area as well. There is a small running path.

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.
