Confirmed from Big Spring 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.
Family-friendly green space with picnic areas and playgrounds, plus paved walking paths and a stream.
What runners say about Big Spring Park
“The park was so clean it’s beautiful my motherinlaw got remarried there on Saturday then has a Family Reunion on Sunday boths days were hot but the park looked great”
“It’s a large fenced in clean with bathrooms and lots of parking and shaded area.”
I like the fact the city has taken the effort to update and modernize this park. It is a fun and safe environment for children and parents alike! The older items have been replaced with new swings and slides and merry-go-rounds, etc..
Rented the pavilion for my son's birthday party and was super happy with the price 35$ for entire day. The pavilion included a grill as well. It's a very nice size park with plenty of equipment for the children. Nice walking paths to walk on. It's a very nice atmosphere.
Nice park in the heart of the city. Has several playgrounds geared mainly towards young children. There is a flowing creek running alongside the park. There are several picnic pavilions and walking trails.
Great area for a picnic. The playground and area has just been rebuilt. Now has bathrooms and much better amenities for families along with the nice walking trail that’s paved the whole loop.
