Confirmed from Avery 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.
Clean, shady, family-friendly park featuring playgrounds, swings, a BBQ grill and picnic tables and shaded spots.
What runners say about Avery Park
“It's nice clean small park with a walking trail that has small inclines.”
“Nice shaded park with multiple play areas, walking path and covered area with picnic tables under.”
Nice local park. It's usually clean and plenty of options for kids and families. The parking lot lights could be a little brighter when it's darker. The walking paths are nice and the inclusive swings are great! Good meeting spot for scouts too.
Aka, shade park. My wife and I, along with our two crazy boys frequent this park. There is a nice, paved walking trail, along with pavilions and grills for easy-to-host BBQ parties. The playground is kid friendly, too. Very pretty location, as it hosts countless mature trees to admire on your stroll.
Nice clean park. Lots of shade tree's. Paved walking trail. Large playground. Pavilion with picnic tables. Decent parking space. It runs along Lincoln Dr which is busy, but the biggest part of the playground is away from Lincoln. Just don't let the little one's out of sight. Peaceful place.
Stopped in for a quick minute to jot down some notes and really liked my first impression of the park! Nice big shade trees and freshly black topped parking lot and trails. I will definitely head there soon to take a nice walk and check out the rest of the park!
