Confirmed from Zonta 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.

What runners say about Zonta Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (35 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Beautiful (4 Yrs ago).... I'm Updating My Review From 4 Yrs. Ago. TODAY is NOW 08/07/21. Def. STILL 5 Stars. This is My Reason For the NEW Editing..... I Called the BM Park & Rec. Dept. On Front Ave. Yesterday & I Spoke to a *SUPER* Pleasant Lady (I Didn't Catch Her Name, ugh) She Was Just So Kind & Nice.

It maybe smaller than others but it's neat, quiet, peaceful and Romantic. It has a small bridge thats built over a small stream that u can hear the water trickle over rocks n such. Has a walking path that goes all around n thru the park to walk ur pets or push ur little one in a stroller.

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.
