Confirmed from Rady 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.
7-acre recreation area featuring woodland, sports fields & a playground, plus an arboretum.
What runners say about Rady Park
“Also, it's nice that the bathrooms aren't porta-johns, but instead well-maintained bathrooms.”
“Beautiful park and well kept, but the ladies toilet was flushing non stop.”
“Ready Park just added a whole new shaded area with a variety of swings and spinning seats.”
“Great park/playground nestled in a quiet neighborhood.”
🌱The scenery around the park is lovely and in fact lots of photographers 📷 with families. There are places for events such as cookouts (grills and picnic tables) or just a place to contemplate and enjoy nature on a bench.
Was a beautiful park, plenty of activities and space for fun. Love the creek. Kids had a blast at the playground. Grounds seem to be well maintained. Nice paths for walking.
We love this park for the babies. Whether you are there to play or to walk, there is plenty of space and there are plenty of fun things to do. It has been fully refurbished in the past few years, and it’s safe to let your kids run and play. My only complaint is there is very little shade for when it’s hot.
There's a brand new kids' playground area at the park which is pretty decent. The grass is almost always wet and almost swampy if it's rained somewhat recently and there can be a lot of bugs, especially around sunset, but it's got a nice walking/running trail around the park and it has a lot of wide, open grassy area…
