Confirmed from Thunderbird Paseo Park Trailhead'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 Thunderbird Paseo Park Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Convenient place to park and get right onto the trail. Not crowded. No facilities but the Arizona Canal and the Arizona Canal Diversion Channel are directly adjacent.

★★★★★ — Apex , Feb 2022

Great place to walk solo or with a friend lots to see even great to just people watch or bike ride. Two thumbs up.

★★★★★ — Loudminded , Feb 2023

This actually turned out to be a really great little place to park and walk. It was a little sketch at times with some of the people living under the bridges but that was very few and far between because these don't provide that much coverage and also this was at night. The lights at night are decent but not great.

★★★★☆ — Ralph , Jul 2023
