Confirmed from Quarry Point 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 Quarry Point Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (281 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“The baseball fields were very well kept!”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“Great shaded playground area to play under to keep cool on a sunny day, and the restroom facility was nice too.”

👟 good for all levels 4 mentions

“5 women sitting while their 14 unsupervised children of all ages ran rampant through the equipment.”

Great playground, kids love to play there, lots of parking. One con is if you are on the soccer teams, the younger teams, you have quite a walk to get there to the fields to the games whereas the older games are closer to the parking lot.

★★★★☆ — Janie , Sep 2025

I walk here with my little kids and the park is nice and has tons for my little ones to do and play on. It's a sand park so be advised patents...sand in shoes... in your car... plan accordingly

★★★★☆ — Whitney , Apr 2025

Great park like paths! I'm physically challenged but don't like the red dot "mats" and seated walker wheels can get locked in them.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 9 mentions
