Confirmed from Best 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.
Schoolyard-adjacent park with swings, slides and picnic tables for relaxing or running around.
What runners say about Best Park
“Always clean, great equipment and plenty of space to run around!”
“A nice park situated in the middle of a quiet neighborhood.”
Nice amount shade , I will definitely come back. It’s not crowded at all.
Out after church searching for some parks to wander in. This park is great for kids but the are no walking paths or trails. Really nice play equipment that any kid would love. There are also several picnic tables and grills. No dogs are allowed.
