Confirmed from Thompson 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.

Restrooms

Relaxed green space offering a playground, walking trails, picnic tables and a pond with a fountain.

LOVE THE RENO! Toddler and big kids area and finally a place to sit all in the shade 😍

★★★★★ — Nikki , Sep 2022

I went to this park with my lil man and we had a blast! We enjoyed walking on the trail. You can get a pretty good workout from it. Watch out for the areas right by the lake because our 'ducky' friends use them for the bathroom!!! LOL. My son had an amazing time at the playground. We will certainly be back.

The best part about this park is the large trail, accessed close to the road, by the mailbox. There isn't much signage but it is absolutely worth it. Dirt trail of moderate difficulty that snakes around the hills

★★★★★ — Murphy , Feb 2025

Beautiful, surreal. Walking around the lake standing on the bridge watching the geese in their natural habitat. Just not enough picnic area under the pavillion

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.
