Confirmed from Tom Pearce 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.

“So much fun for all ages and abilities.”

An absolutely beautiful park, with plenty of room to do plenty of things. We chose to relax in the grass and shade. Oh and chase balls. Surprisingly not crowded. We Absolutely love Oregon!

This is one of my favorite disc golf courses in Oregon. The local club is doing amazing job keeping the course in great shape. Most holes have multiple pin locations and some can be very challenging. I really enjoy the design of the course. I first played here all the way back in 2008.

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.
