Confirmed from Sunshine Village 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.

“It is clean well-lit great place to attend a soccer event.”

great park with playground, soccer fields, and walking trail. there's also basketball courts and a skate park! i enjoyed using the outdoor workout equipment too. the only thing i would appreciate is a public bathroom nearby.

★★★★☆ — Kyla , Jul 2023

Great half-mile, paved track for running and walking. Large playground with fitness equipment too. Even has a skateboard park. The township soccer fields are in the interior of the track and the bathrooms are only open during games.

★★★★☆ — Ann , Feb 2021

Love this park. Not too much stuff but just enough to entertain with playground and a nice track to walk around. They appear to be staging a ton of construction 🚧 equipment here. May not be open much longer 🥺

★★★★★ — Jeremy , Jul 2022

It's a cute and out of the way park with soccer fields and a walking trail. They have outdoor exercise equipment for adults. Lots of parking available. There is a nice sized skate park as well.

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.

“However, the parking situation during soccer tournaments sucks big time.”
