Confirmed from Orem Community 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.

“I enjoyed the calming view of the trees, the grass and the beautiful mountains.”

🌳 shaded & cool 6 mentions

“There is no shade cover for the playground or benches surrounding the playground.”

Visiting from out of state and stayed at an airbnb nearby. This was a nice little park with a looped walking path. It was quiet and seemed pretty safe of an area. Not overly populated on a Sunday morning.

★★★★☆ — Vikki , May 2024

The location of this park is convenient, and it’s never busy. I live just a few blocks away, recently I made a stop at the park just to relax my mind after work and I really had a peaceful time there reading a book with no noise or distractions.

★★★★★ — Jessie , Jun 2025

This park almost has it all! There are two pavilions with electrical available, handicapped parking with wheel chair access, very well kept grounds exceptfor follow up after a party but it's possible it wasn't a reservation.

★★★★☆ — Tess , Aug 2021

Love this park! My daughter has cp and is unable to walk, but loves to swing! They have the best swing for her, and we are able to swing with her, which she absolutely loves! Every time we come visit my sister she begs to go to the park!

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.
