Confirmed from Wayne Hansard 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.

🌳 shaded & cool 5 mentions

“Nice walking track, about half of the large loop is shaded.”

Great little park! Awesome disc golf course made me think about learning to play! Very nice enclosed dog parks (small dog & large dog). Unfortunately no shade in those areas. Long, paved walking path is partially shaded depending on where the sun is. Short walking path is also paved but no shade.

★★★★☆ — Mswatsox , Jun 2025

This is probably my favorite disc golf course I've done so far. Even though the holes were shorter at times, the many trees made it challenging. This Californian also loved seeing the wild turkeys roaming around! There also was a nice walking path.

★★★★★ — Sarah , Aug 2019

This park has a little bit of everything! A nice playground with a shelter nearby for getting out of the sun or having a picnic. Baseball fields & soccer fields to enjoy some great games. A very nice paved walking trail that winds through some peaceful woods.

★★★★★ — Genna , Mar 2018

They have a walking trail also a dog park area along with a soccer field plus the disc area throughout the park. Free parking handicap parking just need to pay the gravel because it’s difficult to drive a small car on it but had a good time watching my son walk the whole walking trail the park is very cleanand well…

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.
