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.
Family destination featuring playgrounds, ball fields and picnic spots.
What runners say about Swanson Park
“Totally worth checking out, the park is well maintained.”
“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.
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.
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.
I don’t go to the park much. I like the picnic tables and the roof over it. I love the trails though.
