Confirmed from Westminster 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.

“Gorgeous place that's great for walking around and sitting back and relaxing.”

My fiancee and I found this set of steps and have committed to getting in shape together utilizing them. The are 8 flights of 18-25 steps each. The area is shaded by trees and very serene. Upon reaching the top, one can celebrated and take a victory lap around the circle before heading back down.

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.
