Confirmed from Bannworth 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.
In addition to a jogging trail & athletic fields, this low-key park offers a small pond & pier.

Lovely place with lots of space! Really enjoy seeing the different types of birds around. Could use more trees for shade but over all we love it!
Very nice park with picnic area, play area for kids, a nice big dogs park and a running track, also restroom is there. The kids enjoyed feeding the ducks, geese, turtles and other birds in the pond.
A nice little park. It is clean. They have bathrooms. Large covered auditorium for parties. Playgrounds for the kids. Most of the equipment is older and could use some TLc but over all everything appears safe and functional. There is a walking trail around the printer, a small pond and boardwalk. Kids love the ducks.
Excellent place to take walk ,enjoy the lake and ducks. Nice place to take kids as well... Take sum duck feed when you visit...so you can feed the ducks and swimming turtles.
