Confirmed from Ponds 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.

Ponds park is awesome. A very clean public park for Baseball, softball and Soccer, there is also a playground and places to picnic. Ponds offer scenic walking, fishing and outdoor conservation education.

★★★★★ — Neal , Jun 2020

Nice, green open space. It has several ball diamonds and grassy areas. Good parking is available. One problem, they are rebuilding the road, so you will have to do some walking. Aldo no playgrounds.

★★★★★ — Steven , Oct 2023

Great park. Small play structure, but huge field and a nice walking path. Has a restroom open during the summer as well.

★★★★★ — Noah , Feb 2023

Hill may be a little steep for ice Blocking and I wish it was a bit longer but we still had a great time

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.
