Confirmed from Summer Road 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.
Recreational park with a playground, picnic area, sports courts, a softball field, and a walking trail.

Summer Road Park is a great option for walking, as there is a paved loop. There are some slight inclines, so it's not perfectly level, but nice to avoid uneven terrain for those that may need it. They also have beautiful basketball courts, pickle ball courts, as well as a large playground.
