Confirmed from Panama 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.

“Nice place to take your dog for a walk, and restrooms were nice and clean .”

Great park to take the dogs in the evening. People are always friendly and respect each others space. There are natural walking paths along the outside of the the fields. When a game is happening usually the concessions stand is open. It’s a nice park.

★★★★★ — Sarah , Jun 2019

I gave it 5 stars for the big, open fields, restrooms, and quiet setting. There aren't too many parking spaces in the lot, but you can park in the streets around it. There are large trees for shade on the periphery. It's a really nice, neighborhood play area.

★★★★★ — Mary , Nov 2025

Fun little park with a baseball field. Seems to be a place where dogs can play. I've used it occasionally to take a jog around the perimeter. The grass is kept care of and is maintaned well.

★★★★☆ — Roarke , Jun 2018

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.
