Confirmed from Basil Griffin 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.
Sprawling park with baseball and football fields, a pond for fishing and disc golf.
What runners say about Basil Griffin Park
“Very nice and clean park.”
“Beautiful park with large pond/lake for fishing and duck watching.”
Our grand kids love feeding geese and ducks here. Plenty of things to do for the kiddos. The park has basket ball courts, football field, soccer field, tennis courts, walking trail and picnic shelters.
Awesome park, ducks, fishing, ice cream man comes through, huge lake with peninsulas and islands, children's play areas, disc golf, picnic benches, grills, etc... there are several parking entrances around the lake for 360 access. In fact, you can walk the whole lake.
My kid's favorite place and I love to make videos about the park and kids' playing activities 🥰good place for a walk, has a view of the lake and can do kayaking, the most loving part is to feed 🦆 🥰🥰
