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.

Loop

Family destination featuring playgrounds, ball fields and picnic spots.

“They are easy trails that you could take your kids on.”

Great little spot for singletrack mountain bike. Some up and down, switchbacks. Loop route is about 5ish miles. Well maintained by a group of dedicated volunteers.

★★★★★ — Coach , Aug 2024

Beautiful trails that are great for both walking and biking. They are easy trails that you could take your kids on. There are spots that are labeled as hard but there are paths that go around. Totally worth checking out, the park is well maintained.

★★★★☆ — Jacob , Sep 2016

Amazing natural trails for walking, biking, hiking. Walking in loops through the rows of big and small trees is wonderful. Biking on trail is a fun. There is a kids play area and baseball field.

★★★★☆ — Chanchal , Jun 2020

I don’t go to the park much. I like the picnic tables and the roof over it. I love the trails though.

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.
