Confirmed from Sahuarita Parks & Recreation'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.

👟 good for all levels 3 mentions

“What a great facility: friendly staff, and lots of great options of activities for all ages and levels.”

Fantastic place to talk a walk. Handicap accessible and very family friendly. The walking loop is just under a mile, but it's still great. Flat, even and well maintained concrete walkway. Lots of birds. The lake is regularly stocked and lots of people fish here.

Anamex Park Me and the kids always enjoy our visit. This park has walk ways, skate board ramps, and an enclosed playground that's pretty darn clean. It's padded floor with wood chip covering. There's shade clothe over the play area.

★★★★★ — Laurel , Nov 2020

A very nice spot nested in a great housing area. Children's playground, bicycle/running/walking path, and amphitheatre available. Live music at the amphitheatre first Saturday of the month. Fishing is hit or miss. Ducks and other water foul make stops or winter here. Walking path has benches and shade trees.

★★★★★ — Micheal , Nov 2018

Loved the play ground. It's the best place for kids with the enclosed play area and covered too. Great job looking out for toddlers and giving them independence too. Need more parks like this with a fence and shade.

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.
