Confirmed from Seneca 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.
Sports courts & fields, playgrounds, trails (including horseback riding) & an 18-hole golf course.

Nice park, has a nice paved walking trail all around. Not a lotta parking and most of it it's off the street.
