Confirmed from Terrace View 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 is the most beautiful and lovely park!”

Nice park with lots of slides and tunnels and climbing stuff and wood chips. Cool log you can walk through and balancing stuff. No restroom or even out house that I could find and only street parking.

★★★★★ — Laurel , May 2024

Nice little park. Park View Elementary school.is adjacent to it. There is a newer playground, and a couple of baseball fields. The park has a large retention pond with a walking path around it.

★★★★☆ — C , May 2022

Beautiful park. The path around the lake is just under 1 mile and it takes you past the elementary school, playground, garden, and fields. Lots of benches along the path.

★★★★★ — Matt , Jul 2022

Lovely park with a walking path around the lake. Surrounded by neighboring homes, school and playground.

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.

“On Thanksgiving morning, I took a 2-mile hike from my place to "Park View Pond", as I've called it since I was a child.”
