Confirmed from Sunset 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.
Park with a playground and picnic areas, plus baseball and softball fields, and a walking trail.
What runners say about Sunset Park
“Baseball fields are well kept and the playgrounds are convenient to all park activities.”
“There are plenty of shaded picnic tables near both playgrounds, and lights along the path in between the two.”
Awesome sensory playground for kids of multiple types of abilities. I've been taking my kids here since they were early walkers. The people we encountered on our last visit were warm-hearted and generous.
Great little playground for little kids and has some unique features like a rolling rack and a sway swing. A short walk through a wooded area leads to another playground for older kids featuring two swings, a slide and a large climbing obstacle course.
Nice little playground, perfect for little kids! There's a fence enclosing it with only one way in or out. I like that there's no wood chips or dirt flooring, that way I don't have to worry about splinters or not being able to play if it's recently been raining.
Always something messed up here when we go (Like now a swing has a broken chain, which can be inconvenient with only 3 swings) but it is close to home and fenced in, which is great with 2 runners. Gets crowded quick and not the best for smaller kids in the afternoon because the older kids will run them over.
Trail conditions & character
“A short walk through a wooded area leads to another playground for older kids featuring two swings, a slide and a large climbing obstacle course.”
“The playground has a sensory wall, several ramps for accessibility, high back swings, and a wheelchair accessible see-saw.”
“Could have a bathroom closer for the kids, but there is one close to the baseball dugout area.”
“Parking is ample, and the baseball grounds and soccer fields look nice too.”
“There are plenty of shaded picnic tables near both playgrounds, and lights along the path in between the two.”

- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
