Confirmed from Rahanis 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.
Relaxed, clean park for baseball, soccer and volleyball players, as well as their dogs and kids, offering multiple tennis courts.

“There is also a clean ball pit and plenty of shade from the tall trees.”
This park is a great place to take kids of all ages. There is a large playground with two slides, a climbing structure, and two swing sets. There is also a clean ball pit and plenty of shade from the tall trees.
Large Dog park is too large. Back edge to the front edge is a hike if the dogs are misbehaving. The Oak tree on the back corner was a bad.... Last was told by the vet was to not let him eat acorns. In bulk can lead to issues.
Great park - kids playground, huge dog park, big stadium for games and walks
6 public tennis courts which would be available most of the time. Well maintained with ample parking facilities. There is also empty walking or kids playing place for locals.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- SurfaceCrushed gravel — the rail-trail classic: softer than asphalt, still smooth enough for tempo work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeRunners describe real tree cover here — it makes a summer afternoon workable
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
- At the trailheadparking, restrooms, water — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
