Confirmed from Wayne A. Grube Memorial 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.

An absolutely gorgeous park with a lovely little natural trail alongside a stream. Park was clean and well-maintained. Love the bridges throughout!

★★★★★ — Abigail , Apr 2024

I absolutely love this park! I have been going since Spring and go about 4 times a week. The nature trails are absolutely peaceful and calming. There's also a large field with trails, baseball field, volleyball section and very nice pavilions for parties/picnics! This park is very clean and well kept...a hidden gem!

★★★★★ — Mercedes , Aug 2021

It's a great wide open area. Big pavilions, handicap accessible. Swings, slides, and trails. This is great for play and family gatherings. There's even a volleyball court. A+

★★★★★ — George , Jul 2024

Extremely clean facilities including parking lot, playground. toilets, and picnic areas. It just finished pouring rain when we decided to go to the park and it was so pleasant to have paved pathways as well as grassy pathways .

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.
