Confirmed from Ryon Memorial 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (114 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

“The park is clean, and the restrooms are usually well-stocked and as clean as the patrons keep them.”

I always enjoy walking Max and Lola at Ryon Park. It's usually quiet, and we often meet other dogs taking their humans for a walk. Please pick up after your dog and carry dog bags because the City no longer provides them.

I was at Ryon Park to see my grandson perform on stage at the Flower Festival. ! I like this park a lot. It's well kept. They have a play area for the kids with something to play on & a path around the park where you can walk. Which I love.

★★★★☆ — Jacqueline , May 2022

Great park. I walk my dog here every day. It's a small park with the normal small park issues, but that is a people problem. The only issue with the park and seems to be a town wide pro lem are the sheer amou t of gopher holes, or more likely ground squirrels.

★★★★☆ — Bethany , Dec 2023

Do my speed walk at least 2 miles at least 3 times a week. Nice park could use a face lift.

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.
