Confirmed from Safari 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.

ScenicRestrooms

Picnicking, basketball, volleyball, and play equipment are offered at this family-friendly park.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (234 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 6 mentions

“Clean, away from the street a bit, basketball courts a cool trail with a bunch of animal statues and lots of green grass to run around in.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 7 mentions

“Clean and beautiful park with animal statues you can take pictures near and on.”

Looks like a great little spot. Playground for the kids and a walking trail.

★★★★☆ — Carolyn , Dec 2022

Excellent park! Clean, away from the street a bit, basketball courts a cool trail with a bunch of animal statues and lots of green grass to run around in. They just got the pool up and running too!

★★★★★ — Darrell , Feb 2024

In spring is the best time to visit here. It's beautiful with lots of trees and green grass. The walk through with all the animals are great. You can reserve the Ramadas for special occasions.

★★★★★ — Heather , Feb 2017

Love this place, my son loves the playground and the little safari walk and pointing out the animals. We've been using the pool during the week daywhere we are pretty much the only ones there. It's great

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.
