Confirmed from Simonds 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.

The park is very well maintained and the disc golf course is easily accessible and good for beginners to all levels. They just built a new Boardwalk into a treehouse which is really nice and it has a great Overlook of the skate park hockey rink and pickleball court.

I recently visited this park with my two year old, and we had a great time. The park has something for kids of all ages, from infants to big kids. There are swings for all ages, including infant swings with high backs and safety belts.

This park was phenomenal and the playground is great for all different ages. Parking is easy to find, there are restrooms and multiple swings. Kids enjoyed walking to the tree house, and they have space for hockey, pickleball and tennis. Can’t wait to bring my kids back!

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.
