Confirmed from Swanson 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.
Play area with a climbing frame alongside an outdoor pool featuring a water slide and lazy river.
What runners say about Swanson Park
“Clean and maintained really well by the city.”
“It's close to home great place to walk or run or even sit and read a book.”
Swanson Park not only has a really great playground equiped with a climbing structure, it has Swanson Pool right behind it which has a really great water slide, a water park area, a deeper pool with a pool side hoop, and lazy river. Lots of fun for the kids...
It's close to home great place to walk or run or even sit and read a book. However there needs to be a restroom.

The practical stuff

- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
