Confirmed from Ustach 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.

“Well-lit areas for walking and or enjoying the serene scenery of this nice and comfortable neighborhood.”

Nicely manicured and maintained park with lots of trees and shade, not to far from the post office. Paved walking paths with several covered-bench rest stations along the way. A large playground area with a tree shaded courtyard nearby. Bbq grills and benches available in the courtyard.

★★★★☆ — Rudy , Apr 2022

A nice, clean park for family functions. As well as events within the community to enjoy with the children, family and dog-lovers. A decent walking path, for those who enjoy nice walks with trusted companions on four legs.

★★★★☆ — Gabe , Dec 2019

Very nice and clean park. I love going to this park almost everyday. Very open, a lot of places to walk and do activities. Great place to let your dogs come and play. They have outlets to charge your devices and pretty clean bathrooms.

★★★★★ — Kelsey , Oct 2017

This park is always a nice place to take a walk, have a BBQ with friends/family, play basketball/other sports, or just catch some shade. There is a lil tots play area as well as a big kids play area with swings. In the summer they have a water fountain for everyone to enjoy.

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.
