Confirmed from Summit Park Off Leash Dog 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.

well-maintained 7 mentions

“The water fountains are clogged so the water isn’t always clean.”

This is the absolute best dog park I've ever been to! People clean up after their dogs so it's nice and clean. There is a really cool wooded area with trails so the dogs can run through there or stay in the gravel/sand area. Everytime I've gone, I've encountered friendly and nice humans.

★★★★★ — Martha , Apr 2022

4 acres (?) rectangle, 75% dirt and 25% wooded, 4ft fence in excellent condition. Two poop cans, one bench (?). In a larger complex next to a pickle ball court, children’s playground, athletic fields, restrooms and high school.

★★★★☆ — Linna , Oct 2023

Our first time here. VERY clean. Open area and a small trail, wooded area. Plenty of sun and shade. We will be back for sure!

★★★★★ — Sb&Aj , Aug 2024

Good open space and walking track. Kids park is next door as well so you can exercise everyone all at once.

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.
