Confirmed from Bob Newton 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.
Clean, shady area featuring a playground, basketball and tennis courts.
What runners say about Bob Newton Park
“Visiting in the late fall, there were many oak leaves on the ground and the grass was very wet, but the place seemed well maintained.”
“It's also well maintained, has a drinking fountain, picnic tables, porta-potty, tennis/basketball court, and big shade trees.”
“Very empty and quiet when I visited it on a weekday during my lunch break.”
My son and I visited the park. The park is very clean and well maintained. The only 'issue' I would say is that the parking is limited and on a back alley gravel way that is heavily pot-holed. Tennis / Pickle Ball courts, kids play-ground with slides and swings. A nice area to walk.
Wonderful park, I myself as a child played at this park and I am thrilled my children get to as well, onsite restroom, court, tables, playground, huge grass lot, creek with small bridge just a very comfortable place to let the kids run and relax!
Very cute park that I like to walk to while out in the neighborhood! You can play pickleball, basketball, and tennis all on the same court. There is also a swing set! You are never too old to swing.
