Confirmed from Peterson 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.

Popular spot for baseball, walking and stargazing featuring a pond.

What runners say about Peterson Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (72 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice little park. Benches for parents or walkers or bikers. Dogs are allowed but please remember to clean up after your pooch because people like me do no like to step in poo. Most people follow the rules but there are those few. Small playground for the kids to play.

★★★★★ — Janine , Sep 2018

Good place to take the kids. Has a park with slide, a pond, and a baseball diamond. Right next to a walking/biking trail.

★★★★★ — Jonathan , Nov 2016

Wish it had seeing set, bit it's got a great play area and lots of field space to run awound

★★★★☆ — Marni , Feb 2021
