Confirmed from Walsh 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.

“A very clean park plus basketball and a jungle gym.”

Amazing park that ive been going too since i was a little kid. Great place to have Picnics, walk your dog, or just enjoy the weather. Good place for kids too, it has a few choices for playgrounds, and even their own baseball field.

★★★★★ — Totally , Apr 2019

Great play ground, picnic areas, places just to chill under a tree, walking/jogging, walking trail around large fishing pond. Very nice park

I took my 2 grandkids there. A very clean park plus basketball and a jungle gym. They had fun running around playing safely.

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.

“The bathrooms could use some work but other parks around here have bathrooms that are worse.”
