Confirmed from Simpson 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.

Great playground with plenty of slides. 2 swings and 2 baby swings. Grass area to run. Basketball court with 2 hoops and a tennis court in the back. Picnic table. Good spot for an event. Park restrooms were clean. They even have tools for a quick fix on bicycles.

Nice little park to take the kids or grandkids. Pleasant and clean with nice views of the water and a little walking trail. People walking their dogs and overall a very nice vibe.

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.
