We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Apollo Park South yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Park with baseball and soccer fields, plus picnic tables and a kids' playground.
What runners say about Apollo Park South
“Very clean and well kept with public washrooms.”
“Love coming here for a run or a bike ride.”
Nice park..... If they added some LIGHTS., It would be an awesome park. A lot of people like to walk / laps in the evening or bring there dogs out, #avoidTheHeat or sit and enjoy the evening.. Most suburban parks close around 10pm..
The park property is very nice with large grassy fields for soccer and football, ball fields, a playground, and a walking path. There are bathrooms, but they have never been unlocked in any of the times that I have been there for games, practices, tournaments or for the kids to play.
Very clean and well kept with public washrooms. There's also a 1 mile path that attaches to the cook county trails for a good workout.
Love coming here for a run or a bike ride. Today was even sweeter getting to see our daughter's first Cross Country meet.
