We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Owen 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.
What runners say about Owen Park
This is a nice little park for pre-teen kids to have fun at it. Newer, well designed playground equipment is installed here, and my son had a very good time running, climbing, and sliding all over it. There's a few benches to sit on, and they're in areas with plenty of shade, which is great.
Super fun park but every time we go, there's at least person the brings their dog and lets them run around the park with their kids despite big signs at each entrance specifically saying no pets on or near the playground...
