Confirmed from South Temple Community 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.
Kid-friendly park offering a playground, slides, lazy river and pool.
What runners say about South Temple Community Park
“The park is well maintained, the only negative is dog owners that don't pickup after their dogs do business.”
“A beautiful park tight next to Temple's water park.”
Good hiking trail, but a little narrow for biking also. Several active street crossings, so be cautious. Did not see watering for dogs but great bike repair station.
Always clean and trashcan available! They provide Doggy bags for you for free, SO STOP LEAVING IT ON THE GROUND. 😂🤌🏽 Cool disc course that's numbered easily. Safe walking trail moving throughout the whole park and a super fun playground.
Always enjoy a morning or afternoon walk in this park when visiting the area.
Very nice running trails, much Oregon connected to adjacent neighborhoods than I anticipated.
