Confirmed from Walker Place 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.
Relaxing riverside recreational area featuring ponds with fountains, trails and picnic tables with shades.

What a beautiful place to have in the SBC. The walking paths are well planned, with great areas in between for children to play. The planning of the park, in general, has been done so well. From the bridge, to placement of benches and trees, this park will only improve with growth and good maintenance.
Great place to walk. I bring my dog here often. Water features are frequently alive with ducks, turtles, and large goldfish. Restrooms ,Picnic tables, and water fountains available. Also has a large open grassy area for events (I've only seen people use it to play Frisbee or soccer)
We and my family really enjoy going here! The paths are definitely WELL maintained! We will definitely be coming back!!!
Absolutely love this park. Spent all day exploring the trails on bikes. This park is also very clean.

The practical stuff

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- At the trailheadrestrooms, water — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
