Confirmed from Running Water Draw Regional 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.

“Lots of trees on the back nine and some on the front masks for plenty of shade.”

I like going here to get away from everything, walk and enjoy the outdoors. Also it's a really good spot for pokemon hunting in pokemon go. Also a great place to fly a kite. Only thing is I wish they'd bring back the waterfall. Now it's just a pile of rocks. Other than that it's a nice place to play/visit.

Other than the restrooms needing to be cleaned and the irony of a place called Running Water at which the water fountains do not function, this is an awesome park with plenty of places for kids to play. Has a beautiful gazebo and plenty of picnic and bbq spots.

★★★★☆ — Tor , Oct 2024

Lots of good memories of my daddy playing softball and hitting LOTS of homeruns. The children knew when he was about to bat they could run to the back fence and get the ball he was about to hit for the homerun 🥰 I miss you Daddy (Jesse McGuire)

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.
