We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of The Community Forest yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Great multipurpose trails that are well marked and fairly easy to navigate.”

Great multipurpose trails that are well marked and fairly easy to navigate. The trail down by the river is beautiful and the valley it leads to is vast and has an untamed natural wonder to it. It is noticeably colder down there and just feels like more of an adventure than the other parks to the north.

★★★★★ — Linley , Mar 2025

Beautiful landscape and love nature hiking but having marked trails would be nice.

★★★★☆ — Chad , Nov 2022
