Confirmed from Stagecoach 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.

Very small park with a short walking trail around it and not much parking, but both times I’ve been here it’s been pretty quiet so parking hasn’t been an issue. There is a good view of the sunset in the evening. There’s is a small Basketball court and open field that would be nice for kids to run around in.

★★★★★ — Tori , Aug 2024

Went here yesterday evening to just take a walk and be outside for awhile after dinner. There is a small playground area there and not much parking but it's usually empty so no issues. There is a huge open field with beautiful wildflowers all over it. We just walked through the field looking at the flowers and such.

★★★★★ — Tasha , Apr 2024

Play equipment and a basketball goal walking trail.Seems nice enough but kind of desolate.Alot of new homes and duplexes to one side of it and farmland surrounding it otherwise.

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.
