Confirmed from Sunnyside 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.

“Beautiful place to spend a cool evening watching kids play ball, surrounded by loved ones, and green grass, trees and blue skies, with a creek nearby.”

Beautiful place to spend a cool evening watching kids play ball, surrounded by loved ones, and green grass, trees and blue skies, with a creek nearby. This is a great park with lots of things to do. Huge play structures that accommodates all ages. Swings, slides, 2 story merry-go-round.

★★★★★ — Joy , May 2026

Being a Pullman native, I've always been a fan of Sunnyside Park. It's got lots of paths that take you around the lake and by the little farm next door. Has a community garden, tennis courts, baseball field, disc golf, a playground and a gazebo for events.

★★★★★ — Sharon , May 2021

I go here all the time to run through the park. It has a playground, a baseball field, two tennis courts, a community garden, a cute duck pond, and it shares a gate with a farmer who has sheep, goats, and two llamas. It's always a good place to visit.

★★★★★ — Amanda , Apr 2019

Great park, lots of room, great playground, nice walking trails, has disc golf, pickleball, and tennis.

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.
