Confirmed from Caporella 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.
Peaceful green space for picnics, volleyball and walks, with a splash pad and playgrounds.
What runners say about Caporella Park
“I had a really nice experience here — the park is clean, spacious, and has plenty of areas for picnics and barbecues.”
“This park is beautiful and designed for kids and It's very unfortunate that people don't respect the rules of this park.”
“The only downside was that a few groups were playing loud music, which kind of took away from the peaceful vibe.”
Wonderful park ! We spent a great day here enjoying the waterpark, playground, walking on the trail and having a picnic. The amenities are great !
Love doing my morning walks here! Very peaceful park. UPDATE!!!! This park is newly renovated and AMAZING! I love it even more!
They really pushed the envelope on the upgrade. Very nice looking and layout. Plus practical for use for many. Can charge electric cars, sunbathe if there is no one fishing on fishing pier, Great play areas , wet or dry for the kiddos. Paved nicely all the way around lake for folks getting them miles in.
My wife and I took our niece here today, and after the renovations the park is first class! From the water park area, to the massive playground, walking track, and dock on the lake, the city really did a nice job on this place and spared no expense!
Trail conditions & character
“Due to the event there was limited parking on-site, but there was event parking across the street on the grass in addition a shuttle service.”
“This park is beautiful and designed for kids and It's very unfortunate that people don't respect the rules of this park.”
“The ONLY reasons I'm not giving it 5 stars is because there is no changing table in the restroom, the dock is covered in duck poop, and there's an fire ant issue.”
“The only downside was that a few groups were playing loud music, which kind of took away from the peaceful vibe.”
“There are signs saying that and every time I visit this park there are people walking dogs around the children.”
