Confirmed from Batterson 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.
Park featuring a pond and boat launches for fishing and kayaking.

Today decided to take a nice drive and visit batterson Park sit in my car and stare at the water this is such a peaceful place to just sit and watch the ducks. They also have a boat launch here so you can put a small boat or a kayak and also fish.
Nice little park to walk around with a dog or with someone. Just have to be on the look out for goose droppings and one time when I was walking close to the water I saw a couple of instances of dead fish. Might not want to eat anything you catch out of the pond but other than that, very scenic.
Great place to hang out let dog run around while I do some stretching and get a bit of exercise. But there's always tons of cars parked here. Idk why. Maybe a good place to stop and eat your lunch or something...
