Confirmed from Peace 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.
Calm outdoor spot with a lake & boating rentals, along with an abundance of walking & hiking trails.

We enjoyed our visit to the park. It is well maintained. They have many picnic tables spread throughout the park. There is a trail that goes around the reservoir were available in the shade but within sight of the boats and people skateboarding. Very peaceful and beautiful place to take a walk.
It justifies the name, so peaceful. Quick drive, ample parking, ample boats, nice trail path for walkers and joggers. They do have restrooms, water fountain, air pump. Multiple benches for big families, nice place to have family picnic. Would love to visit multiple times.
I go hear a few times a week. This land is beautiful and has such great positive energy. Make sure to break off onto trails going off the main trails. You will find gems that way. ♡♡♡ Animals always come out to play.
Took my grandsons fishing here and they loved it! We caught fish too! Nice clean restrooms! Lots to do here! A paved trail surrounds the lake for hiking, biking, or just a leisurely stroll. Lots of picnic tables available scattered around the park. Boat rental available. We’ll definitely be back soon!
