Confirmed from Vernon Town Center Park & Pump Track'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.
What runners say about Vernon Town Center Park & Pump Track
“It caters for all ages and levels and brings the whole community together !”
It soff a main road and kind of out off the beaten path as far as if you can see it. but when it was first built you would never know its there. Its next to. Plumbing business.
What a great outlet! Tracks for bigs and littles, picnic tables, a bike repair area, a few pieces of “outdoor gym equipment” and a killer view! Also a paved loop on the outside of it all. Beautifully smooth pavement, super clean. Highly recommend!
The park was so peaceful and had such a great view! There was a nice little walking trail with a mountain view and minimal road noise.
