Confirmed from Allen Jay 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.
Local park featuring playgrounds for kids and basketball courts, plus a walking trail.
What runners say about Allen Jay Park
One of my favorite parks, plus it's close to where I live. I mainly go there to play basketball on the outdoor court, it would be nice if the park website listed when the indoor basketball court is open and available. It's almost like they don't want you to know.
Great little part for the kids or yourself. Wasn't packed and everything was in great condition. I've seen bad parks, and this isn't one of them . Go check it out with the family or just go for a walk!
The rec center has plenty of activities like Jiu-Jitsu and basketball and they've got nice little part for those who wish to have the kids run around the tracks not bad either
Clean, has multiple ball fields, decent playground with swings behind the rec center. Nice little trail to stretch your legs.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says

- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
