Confirmed from Siems 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.

“Very clean and my sister lives next to the side of the field's where they play soccer.”

Nice place to have a nice walk with your dog or ride your bike. it's very clean and beautiful

★★★★★ — Montserrat , May 2021

This park has a nicely paved .75 mile walking/running loop and a lot of open green space. The park wraps around so it is bigger than it looks when you first pull into the parking area. We took our dog and was pleased to see doggie bag stations at several points.

★★★★☆ — Shawn , Aug 2020

Clean park with a trail surrounding it for exercise, a new basketball court for playing basketball, a fun children's play area and plenty of wide open fields for playing soccer or flying a kite or whatever activity drives your interest.

★★★★★ — Ken , Mar 2018

Sand hill cranes were flying overhead! Perfect spring day. Great clear path.

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.
