Confirmed from Robertson Road 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.

Dog-friendlyStroller / ADARestrooms

Quiet recreational space with grass, play areas for kids and basketball courts, plus soccer pitches.

What runners say about Robertson Road Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (285 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is a great park near my house where I take my dog twice a day to walk! I would Love to get a long retractable leash and let him run a little bit, however, there is a lot of broken glass and from time to time there are loose dogs that are allowed off leash by their owners to run free.

★★★★☆ — Cecilia , Oct 2022

This spot is great for a game of basketball and/or soccer, but the rims and goals need nets. I go here for my runs, and to take my son to the park. The park in the other hand is probably a 3 out five stars itself its for older kids not meant for toddlers. Overall, great spot for a run and sports activities.

★★★★☆ — J , Jan 2021

Great place to walk the 🐕 the picnic area has lots of graffiti and black furry spiders that come from the tops of the awning to say hello and they come in multiples. The Multicultural environment makes it beautiful ♥️🐕

★★★★★ — Chela , May 2018

Has soccer field, kids playground, basketball court and nice place to walk pets and get lunch from United Samaritans Lunch Truck Mon-Fri.

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.
