Confirmed from Quickstad 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.
Wooded area featuring trails and soccer fields, plus an arboretum.
What runners say about Quickstad Park
“Beautiful park with lots of wildflowers, white and red trillium bloom in the spring.”
Beautiful park with lots of wildflowers, white and red trillium bloom in the spring. Great for walks at sunrise or sunset. Just be careful of wet areas.
Huge park near a school. Wide open fields where you can walk barefoot in case you're interested in grounding. There is also an enclosed forest area with lots of fallen trees, very beautiful. Great for running a few miles or walking your dog.
One of the more peaceful places in the area for a walk in the woods. The fences & turnstiles are a bit confusing at first (some are one-way), but otherwise very nice.
Nice park, plenty of parking nearby. One of the turnstiles was locked, but the one off Lexington and the one near a dog run was open. Enough bugs that I would definitely recommend wearing bug spray or long sleeves!
