Confirmed from Yuma Conservation Garden'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.
What runners say about Yuma Conservation Garden
“This place is gorgeous it's a must see in Yuma the staff does an amazing job here with the unbelievable landscape thanks guys!”
“But it’s like the only special quiet pound place like this in Yuma.”
Very pretty place with clean trails. It has tables and chairs for a relaxing picnic. They have duck food for $1 or $2 dlls extra.
A lovely place to visit in Yuma! I highly recommend feeding the ducks. It's worth it to buy the food from them for $1-3 (depending on bucket size), especially for families with kids. The tortoise wasn't out because it was a little too hot.
A great place to get away from it al, even though a main road runs through it (sort of). Not only do they have hiking trails, vintage farming equipment on display you can also feed the ducks. Free to enter and donations are encouraged. Worth the effort.
Really nice little pound. I doubt they have the money to maintain it properly though. But it’s like the only special quiet pound place like this in Yuma. It’s only open sat and Sun though. Otherwise this would be an awesome walking trail.
