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.
Popular neighborhood space (open space), perfect for a picnic, with a pond and a playground.
What runners say about Yale Road Neighborhood Park
“I've l8ved this park for 15 years, well kept.”
“Beautiful spacious layout , walking , 🦆 🦆 s , lake water fall , playground 🛝 and grill areas”
“Nice track with a few small hills it is partly shaded there is a Lake in the middle with fountain.”
“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.
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.
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.
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.
