Confirmed from Rice-Blakey 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.

“A very nice clean a big park with lots of room for multiple families to enjoy for a picnic or day in the park.”

Bathroom, open spaces, trees with shade, perimeter trail, a gazeebo and a playground. What else do you need?

★★★★★ — Matvey , May 2025

Nice little park for the kids to play at. It could use better parking. I live that it has a walking path.

★★★★★ — Tru , Mar 2021

A beautiful park. A fun play ground for children to play. Lots of grassy with shade areas for for running, frisbee, and picnics. It also has a walking path around the park that's great for pets.

It's a very nice,clean park. I have been bringing my dogs there for years and there is no Disc Golf interrupting the walkers like the community park.

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.
