Confirmed from Callanan 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.
Secluded, green space offering softball and baseball fields, plus basketball courts, picnic tables, swings and a playground, as well as trails.
What runners say about Callanan Park
“The bathrooms are always clean and the red swing can fit 2 small children so there is no arguing over whom gets pushed in it.”
“It's very quiet and relaxing with a decent park, baseball diamond, basketball court and even a small nature walk.”
Callanan park is awesome with their being trails you can walk on, a restroom, a gazebo, kids toys, a baseball park, grills and more.
It's a busy park. I go to shoot hoops and there is only one basketball hoop there so sometimes it's a wait. Usually not to bad though. Always have a baseball game going on there or practice so it's never boring. Great play area for kids and there is a couple little trails in the woods that are fun for a quick explore.
One of my favorite parks to go to. It's very quiet and relaxing with a decent park, baseball diamond, basketball court and even a small nature walk. The bathrooms are always clean and the red swing can fit 2 small children so there is no arguing over whom gets pushed in it... For now lol. 10/10

“The reason I give a 4 star is because the gravel parking lot has a lot of pot holes and sometimes has people squatting in their cars.”
