Confirmed from Borden 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.
Historic 1906 city park with a formal flower garden & lawns as well as tennis courts & a playground.
What runners say about Borden Park
“The playground is next level and very clean and they also have disk golf,basketball court,tennis courts and more.”
“Great park, plenty of benches and pavilions, beautiful trees well manicured w/ Frisbee posts throughout.”
I’ve been back on the circuit now for awhile. I still fancy a little basketball, however. Unfortunately, there is no rims for the basketball goals. The court looks to be in decent shape so it’s a shame. Nice little disc golf course for those getting back to form.
I had been here before and knew it was nice but coming back with a kid I realized how awesome the play areas are. Its a great spacious park with shelters, nice tennis courts, multiple playgrounds for different ages and abilities, and walking paths complete with tree identification signs.
Great carousel swing deal, brand new playground for the kids, ton of swings, covered shelters, basketball court, walking paths, and disc golf course make this an awesome park! Not as full featured as warriors path, but will add it into our weekly rotation.
Great place to kill some time with the kids and let them get some exercise, small playground , basketball court , tennis courts , public restroom. And if you’re a beginner at frzebee golf this is where you go . Nice baskets and fun walk .
