Confirmed from Schwartz Road 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 8 mentions

“Swartz Park is a safe, clean and modern Park for kids.”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“It's a decently shaded park, so you're not totally burning to a crisp.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“It is very quiet even when the playground is busy.”

Nice size park with 4 soccer fields, 1 baseball diamond, 1 gazebo and a small play area for younger kids. There is a restroom facility on sight and also a porta potty by the ball field. There's a walking/running track around the area. Plenty of parking but the lanes are somewhat tight.

★★★★★ — Dave , Aug 2025

The walking/running track is very nice. Could use a few patches where it is thin and is uneven. It is very quiet even when the playground is busy. Not very buggy unless near the bridge over the creek.

★★★★★ — Madeline , Sep 2023

Cute little park with things for toddlers. Newer equipment. Wood mulch base. Could use more shade, but there are a few shaded benches. We had fun!

★★★★★ — Angela , Jul 2024

Great place for toddlers and up. It's a decently shaded park, so you're not totally burning to a crisp. Well designed, well maintained.

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.
