Confirmed from Patriot 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 strongly suggest a canopy to provide shade over the slides.”

The park is new and nice. The playground was nice. There were people playing pickle ball nice courts. The trails are nicely paved saw many people walking and riding bikes. Many of the people here today had younger toddlers. Bathrooms clean.

★★★★★ — Tina , Aug 2023

This is a great park, there is lots of space to run around, there is a play ground, there are water fountains and bathrooms, they are basketball and pickle ball courts, there is a walking path around the park, and there are shade pavilion. It’s a good park! We come a lot.

★★★★☆ — Ellie , Aug 2024

This park has a fantastic walking track, is very level, clean, and has kids playing there constantly. There's been live music a couple times that we've went as well, due to having a practicing stage for community use. It's a wonderful contribution to the community.

★★★★★ — Jeremiah , Apr 2026

Great park to go for a walk or just have a seat and relax under one of the Pavillions. There's a Basketball Court and Pickle Ball! Also a small playground for small kids!

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.
