Confirmed from Urbandale 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.

“It's a very nice quiet little park with a playground and restrooms but they were locked when I was there.”

Actually called Fell Park. Has a beautiful paved trail. Takes about 40 minutes to walk it. Well maintained but surprisingly hilly. A good workout!

It's a very nice quiet little park with a playground and restrooms but they were locked when I was there... May still be too early in the season to unlock them, idk.

★★★★★ — Angella , Jun 2024

★★★★★ — Robert , Aug 2022

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.
