Confirmed from Pleasant Grove 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.

Sprawling, wooded public green space with a creek for crawdad-catching, plus swings and slides.

“Nice and clean park with lots of slides, swings and rides for little kids”

Love this park. Wish the big tree was still over the play area for shade, but still good spot. Just don't use the play structure in summer near miday

This is where my mom and dad took us when my sister and I were children. We spent every Easter here eating and hiding eggs. It's really nostalgic to be able to come here with my parents, my children, my sister and nieces and nephews.

A Very nice park. Perfect for walking. Or a pinic. Or to take the kids to the play ground. Has bathrooms threwout and I think tennis courts in the back. Swings threwout park. And a creek that flows threwout. SO CUTE!! VERY clean, well kept landscape.Great for ALL ages. Wonderful park!!!

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.
