Confirmed from Bittner 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.
Public park offering tennis courts, a playground, baseball fields, a disc golf course, and hiking trails.
What runners say about Bittner Park
“It has many fields for multiple sports and has beautiful hike path.”
“Plenty for kids of all ages they have a toddler sized play area and a bigger kids play area.”
We love this park! There is truly something for everyone. We love the walking trails, especially the red trail where you can follow the river and walk over wooden bridges. Huge grassy fenced field for different sports, a playground, a skateboard park, basketball and pickle ball courts.
Amazing park! Google needs updated pics of this location. Plenty for kids of all ages they have a toddler sized play area and a bigger kids play area. Slides, rock walls, musical toys, variety of different swings & more!!! More pics added below & there's also a small walking trail that I want to check out next time!
Great little skatepark tucked away, which is a rarity for rural folks. The ramp transitions into the concrete need some work, but otherwise a solid little park. Also has disc golf, trails, basketball courts, baseball fields, and other fun parky stuff. Nice place.
Go to watch little league games. There is a nice skate park and hiking trail. There is also public restrooms and a playground. Several Soccer, Baseball, and Softball fields.
