Confirmed from Wagner 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.

Has a playground, baby and children swings, a large sand pit, a climbing rock, many benches, a covered gazebo, three covered picnic tables, large open space, a walking…

Beautiful neighborhood park! Lots of grass and trees to sit under, and a great playground for the kids. The main complaint I have is the sidewalk circling the park is crushed granite instead of more solid concrete or pavers, and can therefore be rough for walking our son in his stroller, and can creat mud patches…

★★★★☆ — Joshua , May 2023

I love this park! Clean and well maintained park. Features include nice open field to play soccer or flag football, a basketball court with one goal post, 1/2 mile track around the park, and a couple of tennis courts. The rock climbing wall in the jungle gym is pretty sweet. Picnic area with grill also located here.

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.
