Confirmed from Sam Ryno 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.

well-maintained 6 mentions

“Clean and hospitable, an obvious choice to take my kids so that they may enjoy the park in a quiet community.”

This park is awsome! The park has sidewalks all around the complete park, whick makes it nice for walkers. A very nice playground for the kiddos, basketball hoop, covered picnic tables and a water fountain for our thirsty fur babies after running in the big park basin.

★★★★★ — Terri , Jun 2023

It’s a nicer park in the Blaker/Morgan rd area. No restrooms, but nice younger and older kids playground. Never used the covered area or the bbq pit but looks like it would be decent to work with. Nice half court to ball in. The rim is a bit stiff and the chain net needs to be replaced but it works.

★★★★☆ — Christian , Jun 2019

Good place to take the kids at a family friendly environment. This place has a wonderful park as well as a field to kick and throw a ball in, as well as a half court for playing basketball ball. The place has a good amount of space to run and go for a walk.

★★★★★ — Isaiah , Nov 2018

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.

“I know it is a neighborhood park, but the only downfall is that there is no restroom here.”
