Confirmed from Sertoma 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.
Park featuring a playground, a pavilion, BBQ grills, a disc-golf course & restrooms.

This is a nice park. Playground, pond, disc golf, hiking, and a snow skiing/tubing hill with snow making equipment.
