Confirmed from Terrace Ridge 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.

This park has: A large, grassy area Swing sets Play ground (with two slides) Two pseudo-rocks for climbing. Pavilion and area for volleyball net (bring your own net). Located in the middle of a residential neighborhood on a moderately busy street. I give this park 4 stars for accessibility to my house.

Cute little park near my friends. It is not large enough to run at our anything for athletes, but great for the kids! People typically walk their dogs and kids play. There is a sand box, a play ground, swings, a pavilion. Plenty of benches and tables for a picnic. Also a lot of shaded area.

★★★★☆ — P. , Jan 2018

Nice, open park with a walk way that's safely fenced away from the near train tracks. Fun playground with sand pit and diggers, plus very fun play equipment on the other side. Has two very squeaky baby swings. Lots of lawn with hills to run on and roll down. This playground is within a neighborhood.

★★★★☆ — Holly , Sep 2020

Really nice little park. The walking path and tables were nice to get out of the sun. The equipment for the kids to play on was in good shape, and had a good variety of climbing and slides. There was also a little sand box with diggers. Overall I would love to take my son back.

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.
