Confirmed from Vernola Family 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.
Clean, friendly outdoor space with a playground, a trail and picnic tables.

Wonderful park with a separated grass field for running, playing baseball, picnics or even to take your dog out on a run with limited stranger interaction. That was definitely my favorite thing of the park.
This park has the cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen at a public park. The grass and trees are all well kept. The play ground for kids is safe and kept up. You will even see city workers come in during the day to clean bathrooms and the area. Nice place to hang out get fresh air.
This park was absolutely huge! There was nobody there and it had a track like trail to walk that was perfect to take my two dogs for a stroll. The grass was green and there was an area with playground equipment and huts to sit under for eating or resting. I had such a great time and so did the furries.
