Confirmed from Yvonne Burke-John D. Ham 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.

“This park is clean, nice landscape, there's always lots of people walking, jogging.”

This park is clean, nice landscape, there's always lots of people walking, jogging. We see families there too so, I feel safe. They also have a tea place Pava, where you can enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or rraspado while you read or simply enjoy the day.

★★★★★ — Martha , Apr 2022

Cool place to walk in the afternoon, there’s plenty of people and they have security patrolling the park constantly!

★★★★★ — Omar , Aug 2018

Love this park! It has 2 different structures one for the smaller kids and the cooler one is for the bigger kids with 2 big slides and cool roller slide 😎 it also has swings and basketball court and baseball field. Plenty of room to run around.

★★★★★ — Jose/Michelle , Feb 2025

Cute, clean park that has plenty of bench seating. Has a nice little playground for kids and green space run and play. There’s also a community center onsite with scheduled activities.

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.
