Confirmed from Al Patch 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.
Public and enclosed park offering fields for softball, baseball and football, plus a track.
What runners say about Al Patch Park
“Great for walking your dogs and the park supplies poop bags to help keep it clean for all.”
“During track season it can get crowded with the city track teams however it's still a great place to go for a run or without”
I didn’t even know this was here. My brother told me recently this is where he gets his run every day. So far i really like it. It’s clean and not too many people...at least for now...
Mostly a softball park but with a track which is very nice so if ur a morning walker or runner or whatever time of day you do it this is a very nice track to get yours in!.
Walk here every weekend and definitely would recommend. Even though it gets so much use, the track stays clean and beautiful. Perhaps it's the folks that go there that take care of it or the workers but either way, this spot is brilliant. Definitely would recommend. The track is bouncy and amazing.
I love that this park has a track that you can run on because I have been looking for one for quite some time & all I could ever find was school tracks which are locked up but Al patch Park Track is available to the public.
