Confirmed from Wakefield Valley Community Trail'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.

Easy walking trails. Directions to park inaccurate. Parking is located on Tahoma Park Rd (not Winsor Drive).

The practical stuff

AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
