Confirmed from Trailhead Neighborhood 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.
Green space offering a playground, picnic pavilions & walking paths, along with woods & wetlands.
What runners say about Trailhead Neighborhood Park
“5 Stars It's a nice, clean, fairly big park with lots of activities you can participate.”
This park was great! It is kind of hidden asking a main road. The playground is big enough to spend hours playing with the kids and having fun and there are also several different places you can walk on the trails.
Took a walk out there one October morning. Temperature was perfect around 75 degrees F. This spot is popular with the locals for biking / walking along the canal. My 2-year old boy had a blast on the slides and swings. Got to see bunnies, ton of squirrel and early morning grub hunt by the birds.
Beautiful park with nice walking/biking trail. Pavilion area for get togethers and well maintained bathrooms.
I wouldn't suggest walking alone. It's very secluded. It's a unique trail, but the small pier was just that.
Trail conditions & character
“We were there during the day and the restrooms were open and the water fountain was working to refill our bottles.”
“We did see several people with their dogs off leash, none of the dogs bothered us and they were all well behaved, but I did notice a trend that no one picked up their dogs poop!”
“I do wish the playground had a fence the whole way around it, but there is a partial fence between the playground and the parking lot, which is better than nothing.”
“We were there during the day and the restrooms were open and the water fountain was working to refill our bottles.”
