Confirmed from Boy Scout 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.

well-maintained 8 mentions

“Splash pad was nice, people were friendly the day we went, fairly clean and appealing to visit this park.”

🌳 shaded & cool 4 mentions

“Nice walking path thats mostly shaded 3 different little play grounds with slides and swings.”

Went to a car show there this morning & it was fun! For a fairly small show, they had had some very nice rides! The park itself is nice, too. Good place for kids to run & play. I've grown up in this area and the park has come a long way! It was well kept when I visited it last. Nice walking path and basketball court.

★★★★☆ — Zac , Jun 2018

Wonderful park for the whole family including walking/ jogging trail, free water park, volleyball, tennis, picnic and eating area, and lots of room to just play in the manicured lawns. Great outdoor fun! The park is a hidden gem in the Shawnee community.

★★★★★ — Jeff , Jun 2023

The park is large well maintained and the splash pad is free. This is really a great place in shawnee to visit let the kids run around play in the water on those Oklahoma summer days then have a picnic under the shade of one of the many large trees.

★★★★★ — Thomas , Jun 2017

One of the more peaceful parks. Excellent for morning and evening jogs. The splash pad is awesome when it’s maintained as well as the basketball courts. One of my favorite things about this park is the abundance of squirrels. Lol they help spruce it up a bit with their cute antics.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
