Confirmed from Paradise Valley 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.

What runners say about Paradise Valley Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (132 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This park has been around for years and if you’re from the valley, you know how much fun it can really be! Tons of workout equipment, and playgrounds, and large grassy areas where you can run your dogs. One of the jewels of Paradise Valley!

Great little fishing pond for the young children. Plenty of hungry fish with a wish to be caught by you. Handicap parking and lots of exploring walking paths around the pond and along the river. Public restroom too.

★★★★★ — Fonerules , Aug 2019

Such a great fenced in park with playground equipment, walking path and excersice equipment. There are also tennis courts and picnic tables. It is close to the walking path that heads to Morad Park as well.

★★★★★ — April , Sep 2017

Great little park. Tennis for the kids, big open field for the dog to chase the Frisbee, exercise equipment and walking path for the adults. I've never had an unfriendly encounter with people or pets.

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.
