Confirmed from Zadie E. Kuehl Memorial 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.

“One of the most beautiful doggy parks I’ve been to, my dog isn’t friendly with other dogs so I used the small dog area while unoccupied and it was perfect.”

Nice park for a short walk. And it has an area for small and large dogs. There is a new parking lot off Canada Road near The Pet Hospital.

★★★★★ — Erik , Dec 2022

Nice dog park I like taking Rufus there. He loves to run and play. Well-maintained other dog owners seem friendly. My only complaint is they don’t have a refreshment stand for hot summer days.

★★★★☆ — Paul , Apr 2025

Awesome park!! Really fun spinning pieces on the playground. Kids' hands would probably appreciate gloves or something to prevent blisters, but daughter loved it! Beautiful small walking path

★★★★★ — B , Jun 2022

Nice dog park with walking path that has a couple spots of decent elevation. Water fountains, benches, a Pavillion, playground, poop bags and even a grill. Dog areas for small and large pups. Needs some branches cut back from the walking path and there are some loose stones on the path edge that need fixing.

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.
