Confirmed from Barnickel 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.
What runners say about Barnickel Park
“This park is both popular and quiet (except for the occasional passing train).”
Two tennis courts, hard surface. Fairly good shape. Underused. Early morning sun can be an issue, need sun glasses or hat on sunny days. Small children's playground right outside courts. Next to part of Deer Creek trail. Small parking lot and street parking. Outdoor basketball hoop down hill.
This park is both popular and quiet (except for the occasional passing train). A Great Rivers Greenway biking / walking trail section passes through it. There is a playground (with bench), tennis courts, a basketball hoop, picnic table, and a small parking lot.
This a cozy little park in Webster. The park features a small basketball court, tennis court and playground for small children with a swing included. There is also a trail that runs through the park that you can follow to the larger deer creek park.
This very small park packs alot of fun! It has a toddler sized playground, 2 tennis courts, and a basketball hoop. And the Deer Creek Greenway runs by the park too.
