Confirmed from Valley View 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Beautiful park to bring a friend, significant other, or just be by yourself.”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“Very well kept Park It even has a pond and large shady trees great for a walk or just relaxing just don't forget your lawn chairs the grass is wet”

Nice park to take your best friend for a walk. I've never had any trouble with any one here. People mind their business, or they say hi. Just don't let your dogs play in the pond. Dogs can get sick from playing in this water. Google it if you need to. Residences backyards face this park, so have respect for them.

My girlfriend introduced me to this little park and what a delightful and relaxing park it is. Paths surround the outside of the grass area and there is plenty of room to walk side by side. The park is animal friendly and the pond is small but charming. Usually takes about 20 minutes to walk around the full park.

★★★★☆ — Ray , Mar 2023

Nice big park. All grass and lots of shade. Turtles and fish swimming in the pond. Paved Walking trail that goes around the whole park. Full loop is about half mile. Great for picnics, ball playing, riding bikes and just enjoying the outdoors.

★★★★★ — Kenneth , May 2021

I walk the path around Valley View park every day. Right now it is beautiful. Who ever has done the mowing the last couple times has done an excellant job. Thank you for doing such an awesome job.

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.
