Confirmed from Sage 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.

“Went to a graduation here and it’s a beautiful park, very bigger and a couple fields for football, baseball and soccer”

This is a nice walk to take your dog or your family on they have a pavilion with a pond here where you can also fish. They have a football field and a baseball field as well.

★★★★★ — Joan , Sep 2022

Nice, well kept parks. Very clean. There are gravel walking trails. Great for walking, not great for regular strollers. Fishing pond is a nice little walk.

★★★★★ — Amanda , Jul 2019

Sage is a nice place to go for a walk. It has a small pond which I see people fishing in and a number of different athletic fields. Behind one baseball field is an epic hill which is great for a workout.

★★★★☆ — Tracy , Aug 2020

The grounds are well maintained, the fields are top quality, there are nice places to walk...just what a park with extraordinary athletic fields is supposed to be!

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.

“Only downfall I've seen is that the softball field doesn't actually use dirt, it's more like crushed stone or something akin to a track and field track that's ground up.”
