Confirmed from Shaw Family Park - North entrance'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.
Family-friendly park featuring a splash-pad for kids, walking and bike trails, a playground and ponds.

What a lovely place. The grands had a blast running between the splash pad and the play area. We ran out of time to enjoy the walking path. I will definitely go back with intentions of enjoying it. It was so peaceful. A must go back is on the books.
