Confirmed from Ayden District Inclusive 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.
Dog-friendly park featuring a splash pad, playground, soccer fields and disc golf.
What runners say about Ayden District Inclusive Park
“Beautiful park with lots of activities including a splash park, horseshoe pits, shuffleboard, football fields and an Innova designed 18 basket disc course.”
“Sunday 1-5pm There are a couple of playgrounds, a small walk for exercise or dog walk.”
The park is free and open to the public but $2.oo entrance fee for the Splash Pad. Splash Pad is open from 10am-5pm. Sunday 1-5pm There are a couple of playgrounds, a small walk for exercise or dog walk. I only wished there had been some trees to shade during the summer months.
My dogs love the dog park. It's well maintained with plenty of space to run and play.
I really like this park!!! They have public bathrooms, a splash pad, a walking trail, a couple of shelters, and the even have a area for the dogs. So its like a small dog park away from the rest of the park. And I love that it's so spacious. They also have a field which could be used for football.
Beautiful park and areas for walking, picnics and the sprinkler area for the children, swings nice for families.
