Confirmed from Willard Avenue 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.

Has a really nice walking track and updated tennis courts with new benches and bleachers. Beautiful trees and shaded areas. Overall the park is very clean but it needs a major overhaul on the playground equipment.
Well kept. Tennis courts in good shape. Surrounded by homes, so pretty secure. Neighbors walk frequently, adding to security.
Nice tennis court. Has a trail around park too, swing set for kids. Quiet neighborhood, feels safe!
