We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Oregon Trail Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Well-kept park featuring a playground, sand volleyball courts and baseball fields.
What runners say about Oregon Trail Park
“Want a good and clean park to visit with your miniature germ clones without dealing with the issues of most other parks?”
Oregon Train Park is such a pleasant place, especially in the afternoon. It’s not too crowded, and even the families there are friendly. We caught 8 catfish! It’s a great spot for fishing, walking, playing, and the playgrounds for kids are fantastic. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
Good park with a small pond for fishing. Has a sand volleyball court, soccer fields, baseball fields, a play structure, and a walking path that goes around all of it. It is always pretty well maintained and always a good time to stop with friends or by myself.
Super cute park with a ship for a play structure. My kids from 2-9yrs were able to easily play here. Good amount of seating around structure. A couple picnic areas. Close to small fishing pond with dock. Short and long walking trails. Ample parking.
Well-kept small park, with a nice pond, paved trails, and fitness equipment, as well as playground equipment. There is an active set of railroad tracks on one edge and roads on two other sides, so not the best place for unattended children and pets.
Trail conditions & character
“Aside from that, the parking is nice and the playground is stellar.”
“If you're into Ingress or Pokemon Go, your not gonna want to miss this park for it's portals/gym's.”
