Confirmed from Stubbs 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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (961 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“The many playgrounds are lovely and well maintained, though older; which is kind of nice because they're different from many newer ones and had some structures my kids hadn't seen.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“Absolutely beautiful, very well maintained, I feel very safe taking my daily stroll through the park, the festivities are nonintrusive and fun as well!”

A real nice place to adventure on a nice day of just relax. Has a few ponds , a few playgrounds , paved paths, a disc golf course. It picnic shelters. It was a fun time and I was super excited to discover this park .

★★★★★ — Heidi , Apr 2023

This park is such a great place to visit with small children. We had a great time at several of the playgrounds (there are probably 7 different playground structures throughout the park!!) and there are lots of options for kids to play on. We walked on some of the trails and our kids loved the bridges.

★★★★★ — Jennifer , Oct 2021

This park is really expansive. I didn't realize it was so big when I pulled in the parking lot but there were so many trails going off different directions and clear boards. That said, what trailer was what. I really want to go disc golfing when the weather is warmer. And I saw a white squirrel and it was really cool!

I remembered visiting this park as a little girl with my grandma 20 years ago. I took my three girls there today and it exceeded my expectations. It is a sprawling place. Tons of bridges which my kids loved.

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.

🚻 Restrooms 8 mentions

“Only downer is being 6 months pregnant with 3 little ones and not having restrooms available.”
