Confirmed from Adams-Ricci 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.
Neighborhood standby with ball fields, walking trails, playgrounds & a kid-friendly fort.
What runners say about Adams-Ricci Park
“I went there for my Niece's Soccer Game and it's very well maintained and nicely Landscaped.”
“The colors are beautiful and the play area dwarfs most in the area.”
Beautiful public park! Several paved walking paths make it easy to walk or bike around, and there are a few playgrounds scattered about. There are lots of picnic tables and benches when you need to rest or want to take a meal break. Ample parking. Nature trail! Volleyball, pickleball, and tennis courts.
Sunshine or a cloudy day, this is a great place for dog walking and exercising. Lots of fields for sports and plenty of parking spots. Porta potty is available, more than one. They provide "poop bags" to keep the park clean. No excuses.
Beautiful trails. Tennis, Bocce Ball, Volley Ball, a large playground and a few small ones. A beautiful park with a lot to do. I highly recommend the nature trail. Be aware that there are steep hills going up and down in some spots.
Great park with tons of things to do. Several different play areas including smaller ones and a really big one that's pretty cool and modern. There's plenty of walking & bike riding trails & a little creek at the bottom of the one nature trail. There's a butterfly garden which is pretty.
