Confirmed from Sligo Cabin Neighborhood 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.

What runners say about Sligo Cabin Neighborhood Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (56 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Its a play ground. Not much different from other play grounds. Although it is shaded so equipment stays cool. Its metal/plastic so no worries about getting splinters. However, the placement of this play ground sucks! Its on top of a hill right next to a mainish road and school.

★★★★☆ — Ashley , Jul 2019

I walk around the track at the school. The atmosphere is nice. There's a lot of movement, soccer, football, jogging, walking. Peaceful!!!

★★★★★ — Robin , Nov 2021

Great place to take a walk on the track or a run or a jog with your kids and family. Very nice park beautiful and clean

★★★★★ — Andy , Aug 2021

Great Park within walking distance of Sligo Creek Park, and hiking trails. Also right next to a running track.

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.
