Confirmed from Redmond Reservoir'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.

“The location is also located across the street and within easy walking distance of a local ice skating rink.”

This park is massive and wonderful. An amazing new futuristic playground with a giant slide, a stage, a shelter, nice bathroom, a pond, lots of nice walking paths, sand volleyball courts, baseball field and much more.

★★★★★ — Laurel , Jul 2024

Their walking trail around the pond is beautiful and we'll kept. Keep and eye out for local wildlife as its their home. We've seen all different types of birds, a fox, snake, tons of cricket's, caterpillars and much more.

★★★★★ — Mrs. , Nov 2022

This location offers great facilities that will fulfill the exercise and recreational needs of your entire family. A paved track circling the perimeter of the water retention pond is approximately 1.5 miles long with smooth black pavement that makes for a wonderful walk or jog around the park.

★★★★★ — Bryant , Mar 2019

Awesome place to run and relax. I used it for an outdoor workout too. There are gazebos around the pond too so it’s great to have a picnic if you want. I would recommend to anyone looking for a new place to run or relax. I think it’s 1 mile around the pond.

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.
