Confirmed from Pernu 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 Pernu Park
Awesome place to have the kids run of their energy since it's so spread out between the primary structure and the swings. Minus one star though for not having much shade though.
Really nice park for the kids to play and nice paved path for evening walks for everyone. Community is awesome around the park.
New playground, open grass field, pathway for walking, hiking , biking. Excellent park!
