Confirmed from Pleasure Island 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.
Local park featuring a pirate-themed playground for kids, plus picnic tables and barbecues.

Great fun for the littles! Newer playground equipment with a range of activities to keep them interested, active, and safe. Lots picnic tables, ample trees and shade, and greenspace with paths also. Convenient location, for running between errands, work, school, appts, etc.
Love this park. The only wish I have would be some shade over thr play structures. It's apparent that a lot of thought went into the design as it accommodates so many age groups and abilities. The picnic areas are awesome and so much green space to accommodate running.
Very nice park for the kids. They have to climb to use slides and work to get across obstacles. Very spacious to run and play as well! Makes them think a little to use this park. Love it!
