Confirmed from The Retreat 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.
What runners say about The Retreat Park
“Nice little park, really clean and restrooms were clean also.”
“Nice place, peaceful setting.”
Quiet out of the way park. Lots of shade and picnic area. Good resting stop for the trails that wander through the area.
Nice place, peaceful setting. More than once, I've seen deer walking around the soccer field. I especially like that they have a larger molded plastic swing for handicap kids.
Good neighborhood park. Has a baseball diamond, plenty of field to run around on, and a playground with bouldering wall.
