Confirmed from Reichler 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.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“Just because it was not clean for the children playground,I feel it’s not safe for them to play.”

🌳 shaded & cool 5 mentions

“Nice park for baseball games, nice shady trees.”

First timer here . A very good park . Kinda gets busy on weekends with baseball games etc. nice parking facilities .. lots of amenities around the ground .. good walking trail too. Only issue i have seen is- too many insects after 6 pm. Need to be careful with kids . Make sure to have insect repellents.

I love this park, every time we've been there it's peaceful, the restrooms are kept clean, there's picnic tables and shade, as well as a nice playground for kiddos age 2-12 theres also a skate park for the daredevils and plenty of room to run around. There is a baseball field as well.

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.
