Confirmed from Yale Road Neighborhood 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“This is a nice quiet 🤫 Park with visible to the traffic 🚦 but away from the traffic 🚗🚙🚐 sounds.”

This has been a great little park for as long as I can remember. Very recently the walking path was repaved and is much easier on the feet than gravel. The park itself is mostly open space with that path, a small play area, a few trees in the corner and the pond which requires proper permits to fish.

★★★★☆ — Will , Apr 2019

Probably one of my favorite parks to go walking. Nice track with a few small hills it is partly shaded there is a Lake in the middle with fountain. My only complaint is that there is very limited parking.

★★★★★ — Mike , Mar 2019

I love Yale Road Neighborhood Park. It has a walking trail, playground area, picnic tables, ducks, and swings. There's nothing like a walk around the park and then a swing.

★★★★★ — Carolyn , Jul 2020

This is a nice quiet 🤫 Park with visible to the traffic 🚦 but away from the traffic 🚗🚙🚐 sounds. The trees, are not heavy where you can't see all around you. the 🏞️ Park is invisible to the public but private when walking, meditating, and for a relaxing 🧺 picnic.

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.
