Confirmed from The James and Sallye Jude 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 a sweet little park within walking distance of the grove. It is in the city of coral gables in the neighborhood of sunrise harbor. It's designed for younger children but has a basketball court and picnic tables that get a lot of use.

★★★★☆ — Raquel , Jan 2023

I take my I take my child to this small and charming park. We walk along the well-maintained trails.

★★★★★ — Кристина , Sep 2023

Quiet park that I like to walk to with my dog. People are friendly here and it's great for the kiddos. We enjoy taking a stroll here. It's typically empty.

★★★★★ — Miami , Jan 2022

Well shaded and clean. This park had plenty of play space but is small enough to keep an eye on my little one.

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.
