Confirmed from 1776 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.
Naturally landscaped park with a creek running along it & a disc-golf course in the woods.
What runners say about 1776 Park
“I like that it was quiet, but there just isn't much there.”
Wonderful neighborhood park. No playground equipment. Nature provides trails and logs to climb. Great frisbee golf. There is a rumor that Bigfoot has been seen there.
This park is great if you like dirt trails. You can walk, ride bikes, run and bring your dogs to play.
They have done a great job of creating a path to the waters edge. Decent kayak/canoe launch...a little steep though. Took the 10yr old out for an evening paddle on the creek and he loved it. 1 gator, 2 gar, a turtle..and NO people.
Awesome place! Tons of different little trails connecting to other park locations, even a place for canoe launching! This park is also a great spot in Pokemon Go with three pokestops and a gym.
