Confirmed from Sitzer 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.

“Cute park if you have little ones with a nice playground and well kept baseball field.”

Cute park if you have little ones with a nice playground and well kept baseball field. I chose to keep walking towards Rice St with my little Shi-poo and it was such a beautiful relaxing stroll. 😌

★★★★☆ — Many , Mar 2022

Sitzer Park is a wonderful Shoreview City Park. Home to a basketball court, two tennis courts, two baseball diamonds, picnic shelter, hockey rink, wonderful modern playground, and walking trail, it has something for everyone. Truly a gem.

★★★★★ — Evan , Apr 2021

Lots to do at this park. You can use the large updated playground, go for a walk, have a picnic in the grass or many picnic benches, play baseball and much more.

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.

🅿️ Trailhead parking 8 mentions

“The parking lot is an adequate size except for when there's baseball games going on it fills up really quick and leaves you parking on the street.”
